One thing I despise about modern society is:

Modern men.

Do you know what is worse than modern man?

The modern religions he adheres to.

As a devout and Biblical Christian, my desire is to see men become like David

But modernity forbids it.

// Thread //
See:

Modern religions are seldom about enlightenment through putting aside personal desires or lifting up your neighbor above yourself

No, modern religion is all about ME, ME, ME

And that alone goes against our masculine instinct!

"Go on..."
God made man to be a protector, provider, and a fixer.

Those very rules do not serve the self!

Those pillars of our masculine design goes against what modern religion, especially "Neo-Christianity," preaches.

It's all about focusing on your own walk with God

That's good but
God has told us since the beginning,

"It is not good for man to be alone!"

This means we are better off with fellowship, enacting our roles as the protector, provider, and fixer/supplier

Does that mean we shouldn't work on our walks with God alone?

Well...
Of course it does!

Jesus Christ Himself, the literal incarnate of God the Father, spent 40 days and 40 nights

In the desert

Alone

Pursuing the will of the Father.

We all have to do things alone

But again...
Modern religions wouldn't tell you to go out into the desert to improve your life

They'd tell you, "Stay home, join us online"

Men don't even have to wear pants to church anymore

No wonder they aren't wearing the pants in their families.

So, here I am, a man of faith...
Telling you that

If you want to be like David

A Man After God's Own Heart

You need to pursue what makes you BETTER at fulfilling your intrinsic masculine callings.

SO

"David F.A., How do I do this?"

EASY! Just kidding, this isn't modernity, after all 😉
You must:

- Build up your body for strength and endurance (protection)
- Increase your testosterone for more confidence and good aggression (protection)
- Back your words by actions (protection)

- Put the work in every day (provider)
- Don't stop when it gets hard (provider)
- Promise yourself you won't come back empty handed to loved ones (provider)

- Work on yourself so you don't project wounds onto who you want to help (fixer)
- Be emotionally and mentally strong (fixer)
- Do things out of love and put others above yourself (fixer)
Wrapping up:

Men are barely men anymore and I blame the lack of masculine influence in modern churches

But I'm here to change that.

It is time for YOU, David

To RISE
