As men, we are society’s protectors. Our children, our wives, our family members, & society in general depend on us for defense against the evil in this world. As such, every single man should be capable and diverse in what I call “The Triangle of Violence”.

Your first attempt might not be very good, but nobody's early work is good. There will always be a gap between where you are and where you want to be. And the bridge between that gap is courage. The courage to look foolish in the beginning. The courage to show up again when your early work is criticized. The courage to look yourself in the mirror and say, "I realize I'm not good enough yet, but the only way to get better is to keep working on it."

Christianity is not a pacifist religion.

People love to twist “turn the other cheek” as if Christ was telling His followers to be weak, timid and helpless in the face of evil. He wasn't. Christ was teaching self-control, not cowardice. It was about personal humility, not surrendering your home, your people or your faith to wickedness.

Christianity has never been pacifist. The Old Testament is filled with men of God who fought for righteousness: Joshua, David, Gideon and the Maccabees. The New Testament does not erase that reality. When Paul wrote that rulers “bear not the sword in vain,” he made it clear that force, rightly used, is ordained by God to punish evil and protect the innocent.

The great Church Fathers understood this. Augustine and Aquinas both taught that a just war is not sinful. A Christian can, and sometimes must, fight when justice and the innocent are under attack. That is not bloodlust. It is duty.

Loving your enemy does not mean surrendering to him. It means refusing to hate him even as you stop him. There is a difference between mercy and moral suicide.

Christ Himself was meek before His Father, but never before evil. He rebuked hypocrites, overturned the tables and spoke truth without compromise. The modern idea that Christians should sit quietly and let wickedness prevail is completely foreign to Scripture.

In Revelation, Christ returns not as a pacifist but as a conquering King. His robe is dipped in blood and He rides forth with the armies of heaven. That is not a soft gospel. It is judgment and victory.

Today, many have confused meekness with weakness. Too many churches preach surrender in the name of peace. But peace without righteousness is corruption. Evil does not stop because you smile at it. It stops when men of faith stand firm.

Christianity calls for courage, discipline and the defence of truth. It calls men to be warriors of light, not cowards hiding behind a false peace.

Christians are not called to live quietly beneath the boot of wickedness. We are called to resist evil, stand for what is right and remain faithful to Christ, the Lamb who will return as the Lion. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It’s insane how the WNBA allows the most important, influential, & popular player in league history to get treated like literal garbage.

Caitlin Clark deserves better.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

The WNBA left Caitlin Clark off their 30th anniversary poster. We have truly never seen anything like this. The league got a golden goose and is doing everything they can to kill her.
