Restoring Masculinity: The Balance of the Wise
For the past 6,000 years, since the sin of Adam and Eve, we have lived in a fallen world.
I told a worship leader recently she would be wise to never blame God for bad stuff that happens in life. Blame it on a fallen world and always trust in the perfectly good character of God.
Part of our fallenness stems from life out of balance. We swing pendulums this way and that, being too lenient or being too firm, too hot or cold, or thinking norms now are the way things always were (they’re not).
One such area of imbalance today is the roles/expressions of masculinity and femininity. This is a very recent phenomenon.

We celebrated Columbus Day this week and many businesses and government offices were closed for the holiday. Honoring Christopher Columbus takes me back to a jingle we learned in grade school:

The name Christopher means “Light-bearer” and Columbus paved the way for the light of Jesus Christ to spread to the Western Hemisphere. Only one of our presidential candidates shares that sentiment–Donald Trump.
