Christian Stoicism

A good many men these days are finding the philosophy of ancient Stoicism relevant and helpful.  Indeed, in an age where masculinity is under siege, lots of men see the wisdom in it.  But the thing is, what they truly need is Christ.  He's the true wisdom of God.  Though Seneca and Marcus Aurelius have many wise sayings, those uttering don't, in fact, answer the big questions of why and what for...in the end, it champions a form of fatalism.  

Christianity, on the other hand, teaches us the tough truths - the full truth - behind life's disappointments and struggles.  Christ Himself stands as our Alpha Male.  He brings all things into proper judgment and context so that we rest assured that we can endure through Him and in Him.  Rather than saying, "oh, it is what it is" we say, "the Lord is sovereign."  Yes, it's a sin-sick world but Christ has overcome sin and death and so we live humbly and faithfully.
