Good article on the emasculating of men in the Church. He points out:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“All too often the pastoral “role model” in evangelical circles mirrors that “Simpson’s” character, the Rev. Love Joy. Our pastors are either quaint, odd, harmless pushovers, or they are slick metrosexual types who can cry at the drop of a dime – literally – but have absolutely no courage to stand up against real evil or teach the unequivocal truth with authority.<\/p>\n

They’ve suppressed godly male assertiveness, opting instead to “be nice.” They have abdicated their calling to “speak the truth” in the interest of political correctness. And they have decided that manipulating people with emotional self-help books and anecdotal sermonizing is better for the bottom line than training and teaching the men in their congregations to be leaders and warriors for Christ. And as a result, the evangelical church is suffering from a dearth of real men”.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I agree bring on the Marines, get the wimps out of leadership position and men will start going to church again. However, keep the woman running the churches and watch it become a girl club. Maybe then a seeker\u00a0church movement will start for men seeking women.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The typical U.S. congregation draws an adult crowd that’s 61 percent female
    \nand 39 percent male. This gender gap shows up in all age categories.<\/li>\n
  • On any given Sunday there are 13 million more adult women than men in
    \nAmerica’s churches.<\/li>\n
  • This Sunday almost 25 percent of married, churchgoing women will worship
    \nwithout their husbands.<\/li>\n
  • Midweek activities often draw 70 to 80 percent female participants.<\/li>\n
  • As many as 90 percent of the boys who are being raised in church will
    \nabandon it by their 20th birthday. Many of them will never return.<\/li>\n
  • More than 90 percent of American men believe in God, and five out of six
    \ncall themselves Christians. But only two out of six attend church on any given
    \nSunday. The average man accepts the reality of Jesus Christ, but fails to see
    \nany value in going to church<\/li>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
