Recovering the Masculine Mind | Doug Wilson

The problem can be called by many names. The men of our generation have had a failure of nerve. They have abdicated their responsibilities, and we are consequently in the midst of a crisis of leadership. Men have fallen, to use the biblical term, into the sin of unbelief. God has always promised tremendous blessings for those who keep his covenant faithfully but, to be blunt, men no longer believe Him. We have fallen so far away from his Word that we no longer even know what a covenant is—still less the terms of His covenant with us and the nature of covenant reality around us.

When God judges a people he gives them wicked rulers, wicked people elect wicked rulers

Every covenant home needs a head, "Let His kingdom come and His will be done, "

Modeling the fruit of the Spirit and walking in Divine Wisdom are two of the most important tasks men have within their families, church, and civil order.

May the LORD greatly bless Pastor Wilson, and may the Kingdom be grown through his ministry

[johnslagboom]

Summarizes beautifully how we got here! May the Lord grant Us repentance to "quit us like men" for a great harvest in these Last Days!!!

Besides the First Commandment and the 2nd which is like the 1st, this Masculinity Covenant concept is the most important… and we as a society have lost it. God help us! Great great video. Thank you

[umaikakudo]

Highly recommend studying through the Westminster Larger Catechism questions 123-133 on the fifth commandment to get a comprehensive survey on the duties and sins for covenant heads and their charges.

I always look forward to Doug’s words of exhortation, grace and wisdom. This one however sounds great in theory but pretty hopeless in reality. I’m afraid we are sinking beneath the waves before this ship can get turned around. But, with God all things are possible.

Of all my studying and listening to sermons, this video is what stacked all the pieces for me to realize how disordered America is in neglecting covenantal design. Wow.

God bless you pastor Doug for this message. you made a confusion of texts Malachi 2:14-15 instead of Malachi 3:14-15. Greetings from Cameroon.
It is such a blessing to listen. May God have mercy on your country. It is so sad what is happening to your country.

Not only are we ruled by women and foreigners as a judgement, we (the entirety of Christendom 1.0) are being overrun by foreigners. Wut do?

We need to remember the reason for a limited Federal government. Each State was supposed to be Governed as that State's people saw fit within the parameters of the Constitution, but each as its own, well, State.

If we return to covenant thinking, women families, and communities would all be protected. The pervasive concept of individualism has separated (and deceived us). Not that we should think like collectivist (i.e. communist) but we should think of our family as a unit independent from other families, community, and society. No different than a child leaving his parents for independence. That naturally requires order, discipline, and heirarchy (which is really maturity) of which covenant thinking supplies.

Unfortunately wr are out of your book "Future Men" in Brazil...

[johnfreeman]

So should churches that take a vote of their members in congregational meetings take a vote of the household or the individual members? It seems to me it should be per household.

Rom 8 submit to the higher powers, they are put there by God

So, who represented Dorcas in Acts 9 or Lydia in Acts 16?

[Etruth]

He knows the word covenant but demonstrates no knowledge of the new covenant. Instead, he distorts the gospel of Grace and teaches Bill Gotthard's doctrine rather than the Apostles' teaching.

[paulareeves]

What in the world? Are you saying women shouldn't have the right to vote?
