#Christian Men

[simpleman193]

Ohh man, the Chuck Norris' jokes, err excuse me, facts, they get me every time 🤣🤣

As men, you are the leaders. You set the tone for your relationship.

If you are being rude, unappreciative, callous, or vulgar, your partner is going to be unhappy. Many women check out of relationships and plan their exit once they see the red flags popping up.

Men, it is your job to make your partner feel safe, happy, and loved in a relationship.

Yes, a godly woman still needs to focus on Christ as her number one priority. But, in order for her to submit to her partner, he has to be a mature and capable man. He must be impeccable with his word and treat her well at all times, even if he is upset with her.

Men, love your wives as Christ loved the church, and women can submit to you once they feel your love.

I ADORE seeing men around me be moved to tears by the Holy Spirit. There’s something so beautiful about seeing these normally emotionally tough people letting their raw emotions flow out in the presence of God.

San Lorenzo Ruiz

The first Filipino saint was a mestizo de sangley (mixed Chinese and Filipino), and I want to honor that by dressing him in a plain camisa de chino (left, collarless shirt with round neck; part of his traditional iconography) and also in a variant of the barong Tagalog that borrows elements from the Tangzhuang. His rosary has the Dominican cross because he was a lay brother under the Dominicans.

San Lorenzo Ruiz was born in Binondo, Manila, site of the city's Chinatown. In 1636, after being accused of murdering a Spaniard, he sought refuge with Dominican missionaries and went with them to Japan. In Nagasaki, they endured horrific torture including waterboarding and denailing in an effort to coerce them to renounce their faith. Finally, they were put through the tsurushi, a Japanese torture technique in which the victim is hung upside-down in a hole filled with sewage. Two days of this torture, and he refused to recant. His last words were:

I am a Catholic and wholeheartedly do accept death for God;

Had I a thousand lives, all these to Him shall I offer.

Burnout as Christian is really important topic!

In a culture that attempts to impose androgyny, growing a beard is how I take the sentiment contained in Genesis 1:27, Deuteronomy 22:5 and Mark 10:6 to its logical conclusion.

I have a dilemma. So, I just read an article on “The Marylike Standards for Modesty in Dress (as set down by the Vatican).” Does that mean we are also to apply this strictly at home? Like, for women, should we wear bras at home and if possible avoid shorts? Idk, this has gotten me confused many times. What do you think?

Have you read this? https://www.scribd.com/document/144559971/Marylike-Modesty

Other articles I have read were choppy in my mind and cherry picked depending on their version/definition of modesty. The mind is a good place to start as to why we dress the way we do but also what's up with the heart? Do we have a Christian heart or are we just faking it until we make it in our minds? It can be overwhelming with all the 'rules' that other's place on us but some are boundaries of Love. We are all sinners but there is an expectation that we need to strive for holiness as we are representatives of Christ therefore should try to do our best in being the best representative we can be (like dress codes at church). We want to give God our best.

When you are in the privacy of your own home, I think the rules are relaxed. If you have guest, then maybe you shouldn't be streaking around in your birthday suit or wearing bootie shorts ;) I'm a fan of what you practice at home makes for an easy transition for public, meaning how you act and talk and dress makes a smooth transition from home to school/work to public events/church because it is less stressful and is 'normal' so you don't have to think and remember how to act. I know women that will only wear dresses to fancy occasions and then they don't know how to walk, sit and behave in a dress, are then overwhelmed in public, stressed and not enjoying themselves. Flip side, you will not find me wearing a dress as I'm working outdoors or wrestling animals because common sense dictates that as unsafe for my situation. The home rule should also incorporate common sense / practical matters as well as relaxation and good health.

I was going to avoid the bra-thing because its a rabbit hole (but briefly ... ha!) I think women are not fitted properly, wear too long (time) and too tight. The off gassing of materials, the binding of breast tissue and lymph system is not healthy and I believe a leading problem in breast health. Yes, I am very much aware that some women are larger and need to wear bras for support to bed even but a proper night bra should be used. And some women are smaller and can get away with just a cami (or not). And don't get me started on binders! Bad! No! Full Stop! No more said. BUT the thing is modesty in public vs relaxing healthy (without bra) in the privacy of your home are two different things. I think that they (bras) should be taken off whenever practical. Of course this changes if you have male children maturing then you do want to practice modesty (but you can figure out how to do this and still be bra-less through the seasons) and as your girls grow, you teach by example as well.

But in my mind, do not strive/make it your focus to go to extremes in either direction. Modesty, chastity, and all those other 'Mary qualities' that Christian women want to emulate needs to start in the hearts and grow outwards, to encompass the mind, body and soul then, lastly to the outwards appearance ... which brings us back to us sinners just faking it until we make it. None of us juggling can keep all these balls (rules and regulations) in the air ... remember why Jesus came? keep your eyes on Him ... Just love the Lord with all you mind, heart and soul. Its too easy to get caught up in rules and regulations and then loose sight of what is truly important -- GOD. Just do your best as you grow and mature spiritually in the Love of the Lord. His Mercies are new daily! God's not going to love you less if you mismatch your socks, wear over sized sweats bra-less around the house or if your collar is more than 2 inches below the collar bone or don't have a dress to wear to church. He wants your heart, your love and devotion first and foremost. The rest can come later if at all (its not the most important thing).

King-conscious men 👑

[shadysadie]

Dear elderly men who see me at the library and assume I am a upstanding Christian woman with upstanding Christian values because of the way I dress.

I.

AM.

NOT.

I am a chaotic, nerodivergent, lesbian witch. Who likes skinny dipping and punk music.

I would not make a good little wife for you or your sons.

I do not dress the way I do because I am modest or because I honor my mother and father.

I dress the way I do because I want to look like a resilient Victorian orphan from the country who becomes a companion to a sickly Victorian rich kid who just needs to breathe some fresh goddamm air in order to walk again.

I forgot!

Those are the identities that we all too often allow others to place upon us and sad to say sometimes we develop our sense of identity not by what we’ve discovered about ourselves but what others have said about us.

Everyone one of us struggle from time to time with the issue of forgetfulness. We forget little things – things like; where we placed our glasses or our keys. Have you ever been driving down the road and you suddenly become aware that you might have missed your exit? Or, you realize you’ve driven 8 miles and you don’t remember how you got there? Forgetting little things is a normal part of life –…

The War on Men: Nancy Pearcey Interview - The Becket Cook Show Ep. 128

[quealonzo]

This too shall pass.

I can’t believe that I am saying this, but I am to the point where I feel like I am always drowning.

Now, mentioned above is for sure a thought of the enemy (the enemy as in Satan...those who seek Jesus Christ and apply his word knows). But, I am going to be honest, I don’t know how much more I can handle on my OWN.

In the Holy Bible, Matthew 6:34 says, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

This scripture is something I constantly fail at doing. I constantly feel as if I keep allowing the worry daily to truly affect my relationships with God and my love ones. I end up focusing too much on the past and allowing my present to dictate who I WAS before.

In April 2023, I seek a deliverance minister from the Isaiah Saldivar deliverance map. Saldivar is well-known deliverance evangelist, who spreads the gospel and set many people around the world to live in their true purpose in freedom. And yes! Many of those he delivered are Christians!

After all, a great brother-in-Christ who was local that I reached out on the map did my deliverance. I can say, I didn't believe demons exist in me until I was told that day. A few weeks later, for a moment, I felt freedom! I wanted to let the world know, I wanted to let everyone know at my home what happened. But instead, I end up facing a battle that I kept failing by trying to pick up the pieces of my broken family and relationship with my fiancé and put them back together.

Look. I am not a perfect Christian. And I don't want to be seen as perfect, but I want to do all that I can to emulate Christ the best way that I can. I am completely done being consider as an 'hypocrite' or as an 'fake Christian.' I am completely DONE.

For some, being honest on what ones struggles and letting others know is setting oneself to be completely vulnerable to any change and new perspectives, right? I believed that at one point, but I feel as if there is more than just a wanting to change. It seems as if the relationship with Christ alone is enough to make everything way better than it was. Amen!

So yeah, there's some character flaws I still need to work, and some struggles of the past that still run through my head from time to time, however, I am now out of excuses. I am fed up with the harsh criticism that I put on myself, and the lack of effort to want something so badly that it will be beneficial not only to myself, but to other around me.

Goodbye to figuring things out on my own. Hello new relationship. Christ, I am sorry for not taking the chance to get to know you. I failed you so many, and I've live a lie. Forgive me for not showing the truth to others, and living under the spell of my own selfish pride, and happiness.

I am a father for heaven-sake. I should most definitely make an effort to understand how you understand us for so many years.

This too shall pass.
