Puberescent Boys - Handle With Care

< # >

When Christ, Culture, Physical Body, And Social Pressure Collide !

It Takes MORE Than Rules To Survive Pure Or Even Want To Be Obedient

-

                                                       We Used To Sing A Little Song:

-

God said it

And I believe it

And that's good enough for me.

-

But When We Hit Puberty It Suddenly Becomes:

-

                                                                       God said it.

                                                    But that's not good enough for me!

-

God's Plan, God's Good Enough,

Is Not Good Enough For Us Men - What ??

-

We must not be doing

                                                                     something right.

-

Our God is not good enough ??

Not strong enough ??

Not helpful enough ??

Where does that reality come from ??

-

Scripture indicates that when we fall

We need Discipline - i.e., training.

-

Training is God's answer to sin.

-

(We are assuming here that there is in place a genuine personal love toward God.)

-

An athlete does not become good enough without training.

A corporate officer does not become good enough without training.

A doctor does not become good enough without training.

A skilled trades worker does not become good enough without training.

-

No worker becomes good enough without training.

-

God does not become good enough without training - uh, WHAT ?

! ! !

          God is good enough or he is not God !!!

-

   Men cannot become good enough

without training !!

Boys cannot be prepared to     

     handle puberty without a lot of

multi-disciplinary training !!

-

TRAIN Up A Boy!

-

Training Usually Majors On The Process Required To

Be Strong Enough To Win.

Training Usually Minors On Rules And Never Isolates The Do's And

Don'ts From The Preparation And Conditioning Need For Those Rules To Become Nearly Instinctual.

TRAIN Up A Boy!

The Words of Our Heavenly Father:

-

Bind them upon your heart forever;

fasten them around your neck.

When you walk, they will guide you;

when you sleep, they will watch over you;

when you awake, they will speak to you.

-

For these commands are a lamp,

this teaching is a light,

and the corrections of discipline

                                 are the way to life,

keeping you from the immoral woman,

from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife.

-

Do not lust in your heart after her beauty

or let her captivate you with her eyes,

for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread,

and the adulteress preys upon your very life.

-

Can a man scoop fire into his lap

without his clothes being burned?

Can a man walk on hot coals

without his feet being scorched?

-

So is he who sleeps with another man's wife;

no one who touches her will go

                                        unpunished.

                                                                                             -

TRAIN UP A MAN !!

ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO TRAIN UP A MAN ?

What Is Good Enough For You?

For the Boys God Puts In Your Life To Train !

Wise Man or Fool

I'd Rather Be A Fool

For God

Than A Wise Man

A Lament For Those Strong Kansas Men

A LAMENT FOR THE LAND

A lament for those strong Kansas men who kill all emotion, leaving body, mind, and spirit with no soul in between.

And why not! When emotion makes your heart, your mind, break. Cuts life away from the spirit and soul so that unless the soul dies, the spirit will also break and die as even the physical heart begins to tighten in unendurable pain.

And then -- there are the men whose spirit has been broken by that enemy their fathers never prepared them shake, to master, - emotion. Men barely boys with no spirit, no soul, only a physical body - battered so that they at least feel alive - and a mind that can function only as long as no one disturbs the clockwork, a dull hum that at its core refuses to reflect, to live, to think, lest their mind die too.

And their sons - the generation whose fathers never taught them to master the mind, body, soul, or spirit. Mere boys in the bodies of men. Who have not even a will, for there is nothing left of manhood to give except an erected penis. And -oh - that organ is a master of diminishing returns whose will can not be fulfilled.

May God help the next sons - their sons! For what will be left when that which is animal dies.

Called Away From Yesterday Into Today

God had a design and a reason to create males the way He did. For that reason, God says, He created us in His own image. Yes! It takes the image of God created in women together with that in men to see a more complete picture of the image of God created in humans. But each of us even by natural birth is created in the image of God. Men YOU were created in the image of God. That image, though marred by the fall and our own selves, is nonetheless the foundation inherited by each human character -- all MEN! What more lofty purpose do you want? What could be more exciting. More radical! More of an honor! More MALE. Than being like God! A reflection of God! The way a son, in his looks and actions, is so often a reflection of his father? What could be more pumped than walking shoulder to shoulder with our God? THIS WE WERE CREATED TO BE!
