Preparing My Boys For Manhood

As I sit in my hotel room considering all the ways that my boys need me to make them into disciples, make them into young men, make them into young men who love Jesus, make them into young men who love Jesus and will be prepared one day, Lord willing, for them to make their boys into men who love Jesus, an article by Albert Mohler is a sobering reality of what is taking place in our country and world. It is a war against manhood and men are losing the war.

There is an obvious shift for the first time in human history where men are becoming less "needed" in the workforce. Mohler writes,

The bottom line is the claim that the trend and trajectory of the global economy have for some time now been headed toward female skills and talents. At the most basic level, this means a shift from physical strength to intellectual energies and education. At the next level, it also means a shift from leadership models more associated with males toward the nurturing leadership more associated with women. In any event, the changes are colossal.

Mohler ends his article with this..."These trends represent nothing less than a collapse of male responsibility, leadership, and expectations. The real issue here is not the end of men, but the disappearance of manhood."
