Peaceful Punch
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
Matthew 5:9 ESV
There is this strange notion that Christianity is about passively letting evil have its way in this world. That we Christians have no business resisting evil. Some even believe that defending yourself or your loved ones is unthinkable. I don’t think the Bible teaches such things. I am convinced that the Bible teaches that sometimes throwing a punch is the most peaceful thing you can do.
Case in point in the book of Nehemiah you see the walls of the temple being rebuilt. While Nehemiah and the rest of the men of the city are making progress they are threatened by outside forces. Threatening to destroy their progress,peace and their lives.
Now when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry and greatly enraged, and he jeered at the Jews. And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of Samaria, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?” Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Yes, what they are building—if a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!”
Nehemiah 4:1-3 ESV
Nehemiah when he heard the threats did not cower in fear. He prayed to the Lord and he and the rest of the men stood guard with sword in one hand and trowel in the other. They prepare themselves to fight to defend the peace of their city from the enemy. They were prepared to make peace by fighting.
So in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in open places, I stationed the people by their clans, with their swords, their spears, and their bows. And I looked and arose and said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.”
Nehemiah 4:13-14 ESV
The fact that Nehemiah was willing, ready and able to face conflict head-on was the very reason they were able to rebuild the walls in peace. Being a peacemaker is not about avoiding conflict. It’s about being willing to face conflict for the sake of peace. Sometimes the most peaceful thing you can do is to throw a punch.

IT’S A TRAP!
I almost fell for it! There is a trap right in front of us. The lgbtqsrtuv are trying to claim this month as their own. So as Christians we should combat every post they post with a post of our own to fight back…right?
It seems to me that the lgbtqsrtuv+-$#@?!; folks are walking to and fro seeking whom they may devour. Or at least who they can call a bigot, homophobic, transphobic and all around meany pants. Also it is important to point out that they are not really walking. But stalking and staring at anyone who does not bow to deepest most bend-over-ist 👈(not a word) bow to their pride. They have turned the furnace up ready to throw/cancel anyone who points and laughs at Bruce Jenner in a dress or Billy Porter as a fairy god mother. They have put the bait in our children’s T.V. shows and commercials. They want you to react. They want you to comment on their post of blatant rebellion. It is a trap.
“To win 100 battles is not the height of skill, to subdue the enemy without fighting is.” ~Sun Tzu
In a fight, it is just as important to know when to attack not just how to attack. Sometimes, you have to rope-a-dope. Or in this case Rope- a- non-binary trans- pansexual human person. A technique made popular by Muhammad Ali where you let your opponent tire themselves out punching while you move, dodge, block and absorb every sissyfied limp wristed punch. You let them swing and screech and attack you until they tucker themselves out. Then when they think you have given up you strike. You strike fast and hard. You strike without letting up. You strike with your Christian family being God honoring. You strike with your Strong Christian marriage. You strike with your strong local church community. You strike for the kingdom. You strike because Jesus is LORD. You strike because ALL must obey. You strike and strike and strike.
But do not fall for the trap.

Two Scoops Of What?!
The Misadventures of Little James One day little James bopped into Random Politician school. He saw that everyone was eating a chocolate sundae with whipped cream and sprinkles. He immediately started slapping the cold treats out of their unsuspecting hands. Running like a ninja on 50 Red bulls; he twirled and twisted though the students leaving a sea of ice cream and tear. Just before he was able to finish his mission of ice creamicide James was scooped up and whipped into the principles office.
There Mr. Authority glared across his desk at James. With a look in his eyes like he was holding back the fury of 1,000 dragons, then he spoke. “What in the world were you thinking” said Mr. A. James still exhausted from his exploits gathered his composure and simple said “dog poop”. Confused Mr. A repeated “Dog poop?!” James began to explain how when he was walking home from school yesterday he saw something going on in the school kitchen. He watched as the Populars were in the freezer helping with the ice cream extravaganza that was today. James said he saw them scoop out what he thought was ice cream and stir it into the other ice cream. A fact that he thought was super strange. Then he smell something foul. Like a skunk wrapped up in a dirty diaper dipped in vomit foul. James said he realized that they weren’t making double chocolate sundaes. They were making doo doo chocolate sundaes.
Mr.A suspiciously looked at little James. He thought to himself that James is usually a good kid but this story was far fetched. So he said have you tried the ice cream? No Sir! Said James. Mr A. Said Why? It was good when I ate it. Little James said Sir, dog poop is still dog poop even if everyone is eating it!
A day later the Random Politician School was closed due to a mass illness. -
3 Ways to Fight The Good Fight
We have all heard, read, and saw Disney take their stance. They are against a law that will protect children from being exposed to “sexual education” from kindergarten to 3rd grade. Why? I think that the Lgbt+ mafia knows the influence that Disney has over families and they want it. They know that to continue to push their agenda they need to get allies younger and younger. The earlier you expose, the easier it is to convert. Satan knows to destroy a society he must destroy the home.
So with that being said, here are 3 ways to Fight the Good Fight.
1. Keep calm
Fear is how the enemy keeps you paralyzed. The more panicked you are the more power satan welds. But you are not afraid. You are a mighty man of valor. You have the armor of God equipped with the sword of the Spirit. You can and will face the dragon of perversion with confidence. Knowing this-
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31 ESV
AND…
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2. Cultivate2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
You are a husbandmen. Created to tend the garden that God has put in your care. As a husbandmen you are to not only rule and shape your garden, but also give your garden what it needs to flourish. Your household is that garden.
God made the household for developing joyful warriors for His Kingdom. The enemy knows this fact and wants to keep you distracted from this mission. The serpent will stop at nothing to get you and your family on the road that leads to death. We must be warriors in our gardens.We must do what the Bible says.
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:4 KJV
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:6-9 ESV
3. Stand your ground
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 ESV
Don’t stop. Dig deep roots and stand for a thousand generations. For your children’s children and beyond. Fight for it and do not retreat. The enemy will roar and hiss like a dragon. But you serve the Dragon Slayer which makes you are lesser Dragon Slayers. Stand your ground.
And I looked and arose and said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.”
Nehemiah 4:14 ESV

Carrot Cake Wins Vegetable Contest
Reporter: Why did you enter this contest?
Mr. Baker: Do you mean, Why did I enter a veggie into a veggie contest?!
Reporter: ….
Mr. Baker : Well, I grew up a baker. I did things bakers do, you know like use fondant ,flour, eggs and sugar and such. An occasional croissant or lemon square. However,in my heart I always felt like a farmer.
Reporter: Farmer?
Mr. Baker: Yeah, I always admired farmers.
Reporter: So, what kept you from being a farmer?
Mr. Baker: I don’t have the right equipment to be a farmer. That fact haunted me. No matter how much I try I will never truly be a farmer.( Sobbing)
Reporter : So, back to the contest….
Mr. Baker : Yeah… I thought it was unfair that the farmers had something that only farmers can enter. Discriminatory yeah know..So I decided to enter the Gargantuan Carrot contest to protest the system.
Reporter: What do you say to all those farmers who say that your carrot doesn’t qualify as a real carrot because quote, “Real carrots don’t have fondant”
Mr. Baker : They are all just full of hate. I mean, I know they worked hard cultivating their crop and making sure their carrots have the proper sun , water and nutrients, but my carrot is just as much carrot as theirs. Obviously the judges agree. ( He said holding his gold medal)
Reporter: There you have it! The first ever transvegetable from the first baker to win a veggie contest .The natural look of the carrot (cake) puts all the other vegetables to shame. So Bold and Brave.

Man-Child Syndrome
Puer aeternus
As Christian men our goal is to grow into maturity. We are not to be childish temper tantrum throwing, penis fondling, Mama’s boys. We are men. We are husbands and fathers that need to put to death The Man-child mentality.
Puer aeternus Latin for ‘eternal boy’ in mythology is a child-god who is forever young. In psychology, it is an older person whose emotional life has remained at an adolescent level, which is also known as Peter Pan syndrome.Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.Ephesians 4:13-14 ESVRefusal to fight.
“Many young men are struggling academically, socially, spiritually, financially, and sexually. They are living at home into their late 20s and 30s, choosing to remain in the comforting confines of their parents’ care rather than testing the unknown waters of independence. Instead of striving to create something of themselves, many prefer the familiar and comfortable virtual worlds of internet, pornography, and video games.” Academyofideas.comIf we are not careful we will build spaces to escape from the responsibilities of Biblical Manhood. A virtual kingdom to pretend that we have our crap together. A place where no one questions us about our decisions and everyone agrees with us. A virtual paradise for our folly. As our homes burn from the dragons we refuse to fight.Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.Proverbs 14:29 ESVMen do not throw temper tantrums. We do not explode in anger in a barrage of cussing and fussing when we don’t get our way. That my friends is Man-Child behavior. That behavior needs to be taken to the back and shot. Why because losing our tempers is soft-serve. And no dragon is afraid of soft-serve. The folly in this is that we actually think you are operating in power.Killing Tinker bell
With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him. All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast till an arrow pierce’s its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life.Proverbs 7:21-23 ESVIt goes without saying but I am going to say it porn is Man-Child behavior. Foundling your penis while in the shower or strolling on your phone is not Manliness embodied.“And when a man finds a particular woman beautiful and attractive, and then he satisfies himself by watching as another man takes her, he is deadening all the remaining vestiges of masculinity within him. It is not a hyper-masculine impulse to watch other people get it on. It is the opposite. It is one of the hyenas strutting in front of the other hyenas, doing his best leonine imitation. It is not a cosmopolitan decadence. It is not worldly wise. It is not the experience of a man of the world. It is getting your jollies through losing, which is, as sexual perversions go, down near the bottom.”Douglas Wilson Pornography for CuckoldsWe have to fight against the allure of the pixelated breast and hinderparts that don’t belong to us. The blinking lights of the screen are attractive but only because they are baiting you into a trap. Before you know it you are being digested by the Angler fish of lasciviousness. There is no hope unless the sword of the spirit guts that son of a flounder and releases you from the pit.Mama’s boy
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.Genesis 2:24 ESV“…he hopes to be caught, sucked in, enveloped, and devoured. He seeks, as it were, the protecting, nourishing, charmed circle of the mother, the condition of the infant released from every care…No wonder the real world vanishes from sight!”Carl Jung, AionFailure to launch is another cause of Man-Child syndrome. The lack of strong men causes young men to cling to their mothers. Also causes the mother to be overbearing to make up for the miss piece. She also will use the child to fill the hole left by the man. This is why is it imperative to lead your family.“Sons also need to watch their father in the world. They need him to show them how to be in the world, how to work, how to bounce back from adversity…They need the activation of their inherent masculinity both by outer modeling and by direct affirmation.”James Hollis, Under Saturn’s ShadowHusbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body.Ephesians 5:25-30 ESVFathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.Ephesians 6:4 ESVHow to destroy the Man-Child in you
1. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 ESV2. Know your triggers: so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs. 2 Corinthians 2:11 ESV3. Get some Wise council: Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.Proverbs 15:22 ESVWhoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.Proverbs 18:1 ESV
