Where have all the Christian men gone? There are millions in this country that profess Christ as Lord and Savior, but far fewer that act like men of God. Too many professing Christian men are absent in the roll of family headship, of being the proper husband and father according to God’s commands. Christian manhood is not an easy role to fulfill. I have been struggling with it for many years myself and I am appalled and ashamed of my failure, being either afraid or too lazy to stand up and do what Christian men must do. I apologize for my failures at home and out in the world. With that said, I am now in the midst of a great overcoming and am compelled I believe by our Lord to write this message on a specific issue in which Christian men and their families must be willing to get involved.
What is this issue? It is the most important issue after sharing the Gospel as a vessel for the Lord God.
Christian men and their families need to faithfully and boldly step out and get pro-actively involved, nay, Radically Involved in sharing the Gospel and standing against the murder of un-born children. All life is precious to our Father in heaven and because Christian men have been weak and fearful, more afraid of man than of God, over 45 million innocent, precious children have been slaughtered, their little bodies ripped to pieces and sucked out of their mothers’ wombs’. The womb should be the safest place on earth for a child to be yet due to our (Christian men) fear, or worse indifference it has become one of the most dangerous places on earth for a baby to be, a bloody tomb.
46% of women in this country aged 50 and under have turned the womb into a house of terror and pain for the little residents which take abode in it. This has got to Stop and I am taking a stand with my family and I exhort all men who claim Christ as Lord and Savior to overcome their fear, laziness or indifference and get involved in stopping this most heinous crime against God and humanity, a true holocaust.
I am intentionally using stark terms and descriptions to get the attention of and perhaps raise the ire of Christian men who have been as I have for so long, a poor and pathetic example of a male person more concerned with temporal things than eternal things. God is Loving, Merciful, Forgiving and Just. We will be judged for what we have done or not done while here on this earth and many of us are falling way short of what we should be doing for the Lord as stewards of His world.
Shame on the man who cowers and is afraid of what mere men can do to him and shame on me for being one of these cowardly men. May God forgive me and will you brethren pray for me to continue to grow in courage and boldness for God’s glory and honor to be the kind of man that will stand against evil without fear and continue to exhort my brothers to get in the trenches and help stop the insanity of the war against un-born children.
I will write more on this issue as the Lord leads.
In Christ Jesus,
Christopher Earl – a son of God, husband and father.
