Here is an excerpt:
In my judgment, the typical evangelical church of this generation has become weak and womanly. Churchgoers demand that preachers be soft and dainty—especially when they are dealing with hard-edged truths. If you don't sufficiently tone down every severe text or hard-to-receive doctrine in the Bible, the tone police will write you up for an infraction before you can get from the pulpit to the front door. All the rough edges of every truth must be carefully sanded smooth and painted in pastel tones. We've traded up to cushy seats instead of hard-bench pews and we expect our preachers to fashion their message accordingly. None of this sinners-in-the-hands-of-an-angry-God stuff.
Phil does not argue for some childish expression of manhood (e.g. the book "Wild at Heart" by Eldridge), or for a knuckle dragging, knuckle head image, but for a fully Biblical look at what it means to be a true man in God's eyes. Buckle up and read (but no bike helmets allowed!).
Here also is a good message Phil gave to a men's group.
