Ready for Takeoff

“Much of the effort being expended on masculine renewal today is nothing more than a discipleship program for weenies — a pale copy of the secular men’s movement of a few years back. In contrast, a husband must assume a mantle of strength and the demeanor of masculine leadership . . . As the church is reformed in this way, it will have its former and long-forgotten strength restored. And then a biblical pattern will finally be displayed that may be safely imitated in the civil realm. But until them, all attempts at cultural reform are nothing but ‘all pigs fed and ready to fly'” (Federal Husband, p. 76).
