We're Killing Ourselves

Culture has turned us - men - into cowards, stripping us of the warrior heart. We run from difficult, risky situations in life; I fear for our hearts. Whenever there is danger, risk to the heart - not the muscle in our chest but the muscle of our soul - we back down, go frigid, refuse to take chances, refuse to LIVE. This is what kills. This is self-emasculation. We should be ashamed. What should we do? Speak our minds, fight for right, condemn the wrong; be true to who we are, fear not earthly men and women. Don't kill your originality by slipping into cultural conformity. Don't shoot the real you. Speak up. Stand up. Never back down. Be unconformed. Be who God created you to be - our culture wants people who don't speak up, who ebb with the flow, who blend into the background and keep their mouths shut. Culture wants 'nice' people. But know what? The world doesn't need 'nice' people - it needs people who are alive.
