Here's a great little article from an interview with David Murrow on "Why men hate going to church"
This really scratches an itch for me, as for a long time now I've been talking to folks about the bias towards women in Church, which encourages women to belong but can be a real put off for men. (Before anyone throws in the misogynist word I love women they are great to be with, but I also want to see men saved and thriving in the Church.)
So here's today's challenge - what do we need to do to make Church a place where men can be men?
It's a serious topic for prayer, much as it might be easy to laugh if off as a topic, how can we be expected to share the good news with men if they perceive it as girly? Churches today are largely populated by women, and the statistics show that most men who make a Christian commitment are led there by men, so the challenge is an important one.
It was no accident that Jesus became 'Man' in order to reach and save mankind, do we men in the church need to rediscover our true manliness in order to reach other men?
Ask Father to reveal His plan for addressing this important issue - you might be surprised at the answers you get,
