I am providing the following music video (thanks to my barber) for your thought and analysis. I really would like to see some responses in the comments section, because I think this song describes some of the inner struggles of the typical American Christian male.
The song is about sanctification -- a process that's never finished in this life. I also see it as an indictment of the false concepts about Jesus and manhood foisted upon us by pietistic Christians. Anti-christian media are more than happy to reinforce these misconceptions.
A [male] Christian Martialist should be clear on who Jesus is, on his manhood, and on how those two things relate.
What are your thoughts?
Fun song, the Gaithers are great.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, I think, however, that Jesus is enough of a model.
Besides, it seems kinda sacrilegious to put the name of God next to John Wayne's.
Stephen,
ReplyDeleteI think you're on the right track. Jesus is THE model for Christian manhood.
Of course, I think the song implies that being between Jesus and John Wayne is not where we ought to be.
I hope we hear from some more readers on this. I want to comment further in another post.
Oh, man... that is painful. I only lasted about 30 seconds before I had to turn it off.
ReplyDeleteI understand, brother.
