Where are the Men?
I think the point of the article is a good one, but might not be strong enough. The fact that church services are "feminized" today is because we, as men, have abdicated our responsibilities in many facets of life, including the church. Men have to do more than simply step up to the plate and hit the ball—we're going to have to take the bat out of the hands of the women who are running most facets of the church. It's not going to be easy, but we've got to do it if we're going to live up to our role as leaders in our families and the church.

I feel church has gone way too far to the "feel good" sermons. Men want to come to church and learn something, not be told everything is OK. We need spiritual feeding and Bible-backed teaching. I can’t remember the last time I walked into a church and heard a sermon about Paul or Elijah or Moses. I think our church programs need a revival.

I wish I knew where all the men are—especially godly men in church or out. I don't think it matters at this point because they seem to be the same! I have been divorced and single since 1999 and have yet to find a man a godly man. If they are godly men, they are married. I pray the men will become the men God called them to be and step up to the plate for once—especially single men because there are lots of godly women in the world that I believe God would like to marry godly men!

It seems that most church services are not necessarily feminized, but most times we can't seem to let go and be the worshipers that God wants us to be. It could be pride or preoccupation, but we have no excuses to not be satisfied in a church service. During the week, however, I have found that most congregations don't have much in the way of men's ministries. I think that is the main reasons why men are absent from weekly activities.
