We are living in an age where men are not men. Instead they are grown up boys at best; or at worst, a hybrid asexual being despising true manhood as archaic. Society encourages such a feminization of men. Both the “grown up boy” and the “feminized male” are weak. David told Solomon, “I am going […]

The “Christian” religious world is divided. The “Christian” religious world is united. No, that is not a contradiction, but rather a contradistinction.
