Knight Quest

Lately it has been an emerging Biblical based movies with excellent content, I personally hope the quality & content gets better. David & Goliath is one of them, the story of a humble shepherd who face everyones fear putting his trust in God. David is the hero on the eyes of the people, and yes he is the man since people cries the famous: "Saul kill thousands & David ten thousands. Altho God was who made this possible through David. What is interested to me is lately in movies, media and in culture in general we don't see this kind of stories anymore. Now days seems like girls are the main characters doing all the action and save the day and man are set in a second term. Talking with some friends about the same theme we agreed that it seems like culture is, slowly, it become very misandry.

But before I some people jump from their sits arguing about it let me say that in other parts of the world like middle east, and other parts of Asia is all the opposite, women are being discriminated and mistreated, in a horrible extreme, then we have the sex slavery, people trafficking, etc. But unfortunately occidental culture has overreacted to this and now it seems like culture is taking it against man. For example if you have seem lately the social experiments when a couple is fighting, the guy is just raising his voice to the girl, then people immediately jumps in to stop him and even insult him for mistreat the girl. In another scene, with the same guys,  the girl is screaming and even hitting the guy, people instead of saying something they just laugh about it or not even care.

Now you are wondering what is that to do with David & Goliath's Story, well I think we have lost the concept of real manliness, and now days it feels like being a man is almost a crime (culturally speaking, well and almost legally), for instance in a women files for divorce, usually (regardless of whose fault is it) she gets all full custody and rights. As a culture we had lost the biblical concept of what a real men is, not a evil, or  creepy, or violent, or a weak, or a stupid, or apathetic or uneducated person as it is show in several Tv Shows and movies.

Instead men in Biblical times where the once who saved the day, who protected the widow, the orphans, women and children, the ones who were in charge to provide shelter, provision, protection and even spiritual leadership, to be a reflection of God the father, to their homes and nation, a superheroes, if you might, just like David.

This remind me a comic a read years ago the hero, used to jump from buildings, guard the city at night and fight crime, until one day he was injured and broke his spine by a villain. and then he was cast down from a high building getting paralyzed. Later on he is restored and  healed. But it was one thing, when he tried to go on a top a a building, he was afraid to jump and he used to do it, he couldn't do what he was able to do before. He was now paralyzed but this time in his mind and heart even thou he was fully healed. Sometimes the overreaction to men has paralyzed many guys to be manly or to take their role (not to mention the role of feminism on this). Well the issue is so obvious that now days people is doing commercials about it. As guys we need to man up face the challenges and fight for our homes and families.  Here is a good example"And I looked and arose and said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes." Nehemiah 4:14.
