Lead Me to the Cross

There is a strange and beautiful tension that defines the Christian life. Scripture declares that I am justified, completely forgiven and declared righteous because of Christ’s finished work on the cross. Yet every day I am reminded that I am still being sanctified, still growing, still falling short, still needing to be shaped into holiness. At times this feels contradictory: if God already sees me as perfectly righteous in Christ, why does He continue to work on me? Wrestling with that question reveals that justification and sanctification are not opposing truths but two parts of the same grace filled story. They show both who I already am in Christ and who I am still becoming through Him.

2 Corinthians 5:21
Phillipians 1:6

Modern Women Want a Real Man, But Resist God’s Design for One

Let’s be honest.
Everywhere you turn, women say the same thing:

“I just want a real man.”

But the moment a godly man appears, a man with conviction, boundaries, and leadership,
he’s suddenly called “controlling,” “arrogant,” or “too much.”

The truth?
She doesn’t reject men, she rejects God’s order.
Because true masculinity reflects Christ’s headship (1 Corinthians 11:3),
and the flesh resists submission to God (Romans 8:7).

1. She Wants the Title, Not the Truth

She says, “I want a man who knows what he wants.”
But when he speaks with clarity and conviction, she’s offended.

He says, “I prefer peace.”
She calls him “weak.”

He says, “I expect respect.”
She calls him “controlling.”

The problem isn’t the man, it’s rebellion against accountability.

“For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.”
— John 3:20

Godly standards reveal ungodly habits.
And when a man draws righteous boundaries,
a worldly heart confuses correction with oppression.

“Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” — Proverbs 27:6

2. She Wants Leadership, Until It Costs Her Freedom

She loves when a man provides, protects, and plans, but resents when he also corrects.

She says, “Lead me,”
but when he does, she resists the direction.

She wants the fruit of leadership without the submission that gives it purpose.
But Scripture is clear:

“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church.”
— Ephesians 5:22–23

True biblical leadership is not domination, it’s sacrificial love.
True submission is not weakness, it’s trust in God’s design.

“Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.” — Genesis 3:16

That ancient curse still echoes today.

3. She Wants Protection, But Hates Accountability

She wants a man who will defend her from every threat, except her own pride and sin.

She’ll say, “A real man stands by his woman.”
But when he guards the relationship from her own behavior,
he’s accused of “gaslighting.”

Yet Scripture says:

“Better is open rebuke than hidden love.” — Proverbs 27:5

You can’t shield someone who keeps attacking the peace.
Love protects truth, not destruction.

“Love does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.” — 1 Corinthians 13:6

4. She Demands Respect Without Self-Reflection

“Treat me like a queen,” she says.
But queens in Scripture, like Esther, were humble, wise, and self-controlled.

A godly woman is not entitled; she’s disciplined.

“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” — Proverbs 31:26

A real man doesn’t bow to confusion or chaos just to keep peace.

“God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33

Respect is not a right granted by gender, it’s fruit grown from godly character.

“Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” — Proverbs 31:30

5. She Loves Masculinity, Until It’s Directed at Her

She says she wants a man with standards, until those standards apply to her.

Boundaries become “restrictions.”
Confidence becomes “control.”
Conviction becomes “ego.”

But godly masculinity is not toxic, it’s Christlike.

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13–14

The same strength that protects her also refines her.
And the same love that shelters her also shapes her.

When a man refuses to be led by emotion,
the world calls it pride, but heaven calls it order.

“The head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband.” — 1 Corinthians 11:3

Final Word

A godly man doesn’t lower his standards to gain love,
he lives by God’s standards to give love.

He doesn’t argue to prove his worth, he walks in quiet strength and discernment.

“Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before pigs.” — Matthew 7:6

When she says she wants a real man,
he watches her fruit, not her words.

Because a woman who despises godly order
will always mistake leadership for control.

So the wise man does not strive or beg, he guards his peace.

“If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” — Romans 12:18

He doesn’t find peace in women,
he protects the peace God gives him.

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14

Election season is upon us, unfortunately it’s always vote for the lesser of two evils!!
By Robert Bacher
Facts:
1. Every politician lies to you for your vote.
2. Most news media people/journalist are lying to you. CNN, MSNBC and Fox News mislead you.
3. The main candidates on both sides have skeletons in their closets just like every citizen in America.
4. Don’t trust the media, politicians, and your family/friends with what they tell you about the candidates. Research the issue yourself. Look up the candidates record.
5. Democrats were not always anti-slavery; the Republican party led that battle.
6. Americans of color still feel under represented and marginalized, this after 8 years of Democrat Clinton, 8 years of Democrat Obama, and 4 years of Democrat Biden. Twenty years of promises of “if only” they voted Democrat.
7. Republicans are not always Pro-Life, if they were, they wouldn’t negotiate when the time to kill babies is sufficient enough time.
8. How many Republicans claim to base their views on the Constitution, then sell out your 2nd Amendment rights in order to appease the “critics of today”.
9. Most American voters are incompetent. They vote on their feelings and not facts, they vote on who they’re told to vote for. Many voters voted for Biden and against Trump only because Trump hurt their feelings.
10. The Democrat Party knows that the federal government is the “Sugar Daddy” of the Democrat voters. They offer entitlements for their votes.
11. Like it or not; Trump had inflation down to 1.2% while inflation now is at an all-time high. Gas prices were at a manageable level, Grocery prices were at a manageable level, Rent and utilities were at a manageable level, all during the Trump years. But, not in 2023/2024.
12. Illegal immigration, no matter what side of the fence you’re on, It’s ILLEGAL!
All of this effects the average, working class, Black or White Americans every day!
13. There are very bad Democrats and Republicans. There are good Democrats and Republicans. There are Good Cops and there are Bad Cops. There are Racists White people and there are Racists Black people. There are Great Rich people, and there are Bad Rich people. There are Great Poor people and there are Bad Poor people. The USA has a questionable past, The USA has a Great past. Most people will remember the bad stuff over the good stuff. Let’s not be a hypocrite!
14. What happened to “My body my choice”, Doesn’t this apply to Vaccines as well? I don’t want a vaccine that doesn’t have time to be researched, tested and peered reviewed without influence from those who stand to make tons of money from it. Most new drugs take at least 10 years of R&D to make it to market for human use. Let’s not be a hypocrite!
15. The Constitution of the United States is the “Rule Book” for people in the United States! Just like baseball has a rule book, driving has a rule book, nature has a rule book! If the rules are not followed there is chaos, enforce the rules for everyone! Rich, Poor, Black, White… Everyone! If the rules are outdated, not good for us, or protects one class of people over another class of people… Change it the Right Way!
16. The only thing you are entitled to is Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. You make your own dreams come true, go out and work hard for your dreams. Don’t wait on someone else or the government to give you a hand out! The Government is not your baby’s daddy.
17. Most Politicians when elected were average middle-class citizens, when they leave office, they are part of the rich, elite class. Think about it…. How is it, that a servant of the people gets so rich while in elected office. Remember these politicians work for us and they can vote , themselves a raise anytime they want. We can’t do that! If they are not doing the job, we sent them to do, vote them out! This is why every elected office need term limits. Avoid career long politicians!
18. Have some common sense! Student loan forgiveness? Who is going to pay for that? The Government will… How does the government get the money to pay for this? They TAKE it from ordinary, middle-class people, Black and White like you and me, in the form of Taxes. Higher and higher taxes. Well, how about the rich people pay for it, the business owners? Once again, common sense, business owners get taxed more and their profits go down, they’ll raise prices to maximize their profits. Who pays for this increase in raised prices? Ordinary, middle-class people, Black and White like you and me!
19. Personal Responsibility: No one made you commit a crime; no one made you drop out of school; no one made you spend the money you do have, foolishly. You get out of everything you do, the very effort you put into it! You are the sum total of the five people you associate with. If you associate with people that is in the type of career you want, you’ll be more successful in that quest than if you didn’t. If you associate with thugs, guess what road you’ll most likely go down?
20. Let kids be kids!
21. God (capital G) is good, All the time and All the time, God is good! Give it a try!
22. During this Election Season, protect your interest, protect the interest of your family, protect the interest of common good, and definitely Protect Common Sense!
~God Bless America!🇺🇸🇺🇸
