Steve Camp on the Feminization of the Evangelicals

Some of you may remember the Christian recording artist Steve Camp ("Living In Laodecia", "He Covers Me", "He Is All you Need"). HIs music has always been very solid theologically and Scripturally and I have spent many hours worshipping to his CDs. I ran across this article by him today:

"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

There is a feminization going on in evangelicalism today that has recently spilled over to the blogosphere. It has manifested itself by saying things like,"All you truth-detectors and discernment watch-dogs are just so nasty all the time... Can't we all just get along? Just be nice; make nice; play nice; and OOZE nice? I don't think it is loving to criticize others. You're all just a bunch of big 'ol meanies. You think you know it all. If you say anything negative, I'm just going to ignore you. Tissue please... it's just too much to bear..."

These toy-soldiers carry what I call "a velvet covered sword." It's lightweight, easy to wield, isn't designed for battle, takes little strength to lift it, looks inviting, and won't cut too deep for fear of offending too greatly. It's like reading the ESV or NASB; and then one day you pickup up a copy of The Message thinking that it too is a Bible; when all that it is, is just a velvet covered sword.
