The vision for Meat for Men — UNCOMPROMISING MANHOOD blog is to encourage husbands, fathers and single men in Biblical manhood.

THE PERFECT CHART

ThePerfectChart“We believe that the Bible, as written in the original Hebrew and Greek languages, is the very word of the only wise and the only true God, with whom one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day, who saw the end from the beginning, and not only the end, but every stage of the way.
 
We therefore hold it to be nothing short of a positive blasphemy to assert that we have arrived at a stage of our career in which the Bible is not sufficient, or that we are compelled to travel outside of its covers to find ample guidance and instruction for the present moment, and for every moment of our earthly pilgrimage.
 
The Bible is a perfect chart in which every urgent need of the Christian mariner has been anticipated. Every rock, every sandbank, every shoal, every strand, every island, has been carefully noted down. All the need of the Church of God, its members, and its ministers, has been most fully provided for.
 
How could it be otherwise if we admit the Bible to be the Word of God? Could the mind of God have devised, or His finger sketched an imperfect chart? Impossible. We must either deny the divinity or admit the sufficiency of The Book.”
 
~ Charles Henry Mackintosh (1820 – 18906).

DO NOT LISTEN FOR A MOMENT...

MacintoshQuote“We cannot listen for a moment to men, however profound in their reading and thinking, who dare to treat God’s book as though it were man’s book, and speak of those pages that were penned by the All wise, Almighty, and Eternal God, as though they were the production of a shallow and short-sighted mortal.”

TELL HER SO

TellHerSoAmid the cares of married strife
In spite of toil and business life
If you value your dear wife—
Tell her so!
 
When days are dark and deeply blue
She has her troubles, same as you
Show her that your love is true
Tell her so!
 
Don’t act as if she’s past her prime
As tho’ to please her were a crime
If ever you loved her, now’s the time—
Tell her so!
 
She’ll return for each caress
A hundred-fold of tenderness,
Hearts like hers were made to bless;
Tell her so!
 
You are hers and hers alone;
Well you know she’s all your own;
Don’t wait to carve it on a stone—
Tell her so!
 
Never let her heart grow cold
Richer beauties will unfold
She is worth her weight in gold
Tell her so!

What Is Liberty Without Wisdom And Without Virtue?

EdmondBurke“But what is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. Those who know what virtuous liberty is, cannot bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on account of their having high-sounding words in their mouths.”

THE TOWER OF BABEL, AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE

TowerBabelYou may recall that a few months ago I posted about the Georgia Guide Stones and how that only two weeks before they were struck with lightning, a small group of us were praying in our home at our weekly prayer meeting. A friend from California, Gary Evans, was visiting that night and challenged us to pray against them. Gary and his wife Trish lead the Above Rubies Family Retreat each year, up in the mountains behind San Diego.
 
This monument on which were written the ten commandments of the New World Order, had been standing for about 40 years. Their first mandate stated: “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.” This would eliminate billions of people.
 
We prayed powerful prayers that night that God would strike these stones with lightning or whatever, which happened about two weeks later. We know there must have been many others praying too.
 
However, this answer to prayer caused us all to greatly rejoice as this was obviously more than a coincidence. Ever since this happened, we have become more than ever aware of the similarity of the Tower of Babel and the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the need to attack it through our prayers that it will be destroyed.
 
The WEF is a tower composed of wealthy elitists and high-minded intellectuals led by Charles Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari who is considered Schwab’s top adviser. He is an Israeli professor in Jerusalem, and an atheist.
 
He states” “We just don’t need the vast majority of the population.” He also says that people “are no longer part of the story of the future . . . They simply have no role. Humanity 1.0 is being phased out, and only those humans willing to make the Transition to Humanity 2.0 and join the all-new species of transhuman, will be welcomed in the emerging technocratic society.”
 
He also writes that “the future is about developing more and more sophisticated technology, like artificial intelligence and bioengineering . . . “these technologies increasingly will make redundant . . . whatever people are still doing which is useful . . . and make it possible to replace the people.”
 
If you are not familiar with the plans of the World Economic Forum I would suggest you get hold of the book, “THE GREAT REESET AND THE WAR FOR THE WORLD” by Alex Jones.
 
The WEF, who meet annually in Davos, Switzerland, have groomed and trained political leaders who are at this present time leading in key positions of many nations, cities, and major wealthy businesses and organizations. In order to bring about a New World Order which will destroy pretty much all or present styles of government and historical constitutions.
 
Like Nimrod, who was the leader of the first New World Order, they place their trust in what man can do through science and technology to build a tower of a united one world government with themselves at the top! They call all the shots. They are now brazenly calling themselves God and no doubt destroy all those who oppose their views.
 
This is not a conspiracy theory, or something being done in secret. They are brazen and open about their plans and much of the world is already feeling the impact of their influences. They have the science, the finance, the technology, and the intellectualism to accomplish what they want—but they don’t have God. As Christians we must pray earnestly that God will strike down their proud high towers as He did to the Georgia Guide Stones.
 
To be continued.
 
Be encouraged.

THE HUMILITY OF CHRIST’S BIRTH

HumilityofChristBethlehem, where Jesus was born was a humble little town in Judah.
 
Mathew 2:6: “And thou Bethlehem . . . out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.”
 
Micah 5:2: “But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though thou be LITTLE among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Jesus pre-existed before His birth.
 
Nazareth where Jesus lived after they returned from Egypt, was an insignificant town. It only had one spring of water. The word Nazareth comes from “Nazer” and means “separated or branch.” Jesus was called the “branch of Jesse.”
 
When the disciple Philip found Nathanael he said: “We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?” (John 1:4, 46).
 
God humbled Himself to have His Son raised in Nazareth. Even the people of Nazareth didn’t believe anything good could come out of Nazareth.
 
Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus was a humble carpenter from Nazareth, although he was a just man. (Matthew 1:19).
 
Jesus was rejected in Nazareth because they could not understand from where He received his wisdom and mighty works. The people said: “Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brothers, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him? (Matthew 13:53-58).
 
Because of their lack of faith and not believing in Jesus, he did very few miracles in Nazareth. Nothing never expected anything great to happen there. They felt bad that He performed mighty miracles, and they did not.
 
However, the angel Gabriel visited Joseph and Mary in Nazareth (Luke 16-38). We read Mary’s response in uke 1:46-55). Verses 48, 51, and 52 say: “For he has regarded the LOW ESTATE of his handmaiden, for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed . . . He hath SCATTERED THE PROUD in the imagination of their hearts. HE HATH PUT DOWN THE MIGHTY from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.”
 
Jesus, the Son of God and the glory of Heaven, was born in a manger.
 
Luke 2:7: “And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”
 
NO ROOM IN THE INN FOR THE SON OF GOD TO BE BORN! The maker and creator of Heaven nd earth! How humble can you be? Born in a manger, a trough for animal’s food!
 
This is the way God planned, before the foundation of the world, for His only Begotten Son to be born. Why? To teach the world that the God we serve loves and greatly desires humility, especially from His own people.
 
God showed the glory of His birth to the shepherds, not the high and mighty (Luke 2: 28-21).
 
The account of Jesus’ birth is all about humility. So why are we so full of pride?
 
Be encouraged.

ARE YOU GUILTY OF COMPLICITY?...

Complicity“It is important to remember this key point: Everything the government does to you is by your consent. You either explicitly gave them consent, or by your silence, they assumed your consent.

WHERE, OH, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

NotAfraidThe expected red wave was certainly not what we hoped for. At this moment the senate seems to hold very little hope and light for supporting the conservative agenda. I hope I am wrong. The House of Representatives appears to now be in our control. Thank you, God.
 
We must pray that they will be able to pass legislation on behalf of the truth and bring justice and judgment between lies versus truth, salt versus corruption, and light versus darkness.
 
We must pray for a unity amongst all republican leaders, a unity that is not based on compromise and lies but solid truth, a unity based on what is constitutional and right for America. This requires leaders who will exercise integrity and backbone.
 
Where is the heart of God among the women of America who voted to kick back against Roe v. Wade being overturned. Many women voted for the democrat agenda because its main platform was woman’s rights. I doubt they considered the morals of murdering the baby in the womb, even to kill the baby after birth. Would this not call the Judge of the whole earth to discipline this nation with severe judgment, especially after the 40 years of fighting for it to be overturned by the Supreme Court.
 
As a nation we should not take the mercy of God for granted. The leftist agenda is slamming a fist into the face of God because it legislates against holiness. It is not only abortion, but now they include the mutilation of the human body to bring about sex changes, as well as other degrading moral legislation.
 
We stand on the brink of severe discipline from our holy God. May the Lord have mercy upon us for I sense judgment is at the door and it will not be nice.
 
This is indeed a war between good and evil and light and darkness. If ever there was a time to intercede and pray for America to turn back to God, it is surely now.
 
We must pray for individuals, families, and churches that they will repent and turn back to God.
 
We must pray that God will bring down those who plan evil—whether through vaccinations where the main purpose is to cull the human population by the death of millions,or legislation to change our DNA,or legislation to defy the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade,and many other evils that are espoused by the New World Order and World Economic Forum and our pro-socialist government where the people have no say.
 
Who wants to live in a world that is overrun by perverts and those who practice all types of sexual immorality? The liars and deceivers are seeking to overrun the righteous. They denounce our conservative values with a vengeance. They want to be elected even if it means they must cheat and steal to make it happen. This they will do if we do not pray and have a revival of spiritual backbone.
We cannot and must not be suckers to their lies and deceptions any longer.
 
By the grace of God we must push back against their clever frauds that are demonically inspired.
We must resist with all the powerful truth that comes like a two-edged sword out of the mouth of the Captain of our Salvation whose kingdom will never end.
 
“If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31).
 
So, where Oh, where do we go from here? There is nowhere else to go but to the Lord with every fiber of our being.
 
Be encouraged.
 
Colin Campbell
