In this, the author says:
My quarrel is not with churches teaching sound doctrines of the faith, nor with administration of sacraments and rituals, nor with providing fellowship for the faithful. Rather, the problem has arisen from churches and their well-meaning but misinformed membership and leadership offering dating, relationship and marriage advice which is both obsolete and not based on male and female nature. They’re trying to fashion solutions for a real problem, but failing at it because they’re listening to a feminized body which offers nothing to the men expected to be “part of the solution.”My experience in church has been mostly through music.
Have you ever wondered why you can't get any men to sing in the choir, but there are plenty of women? It's almost as if the men hate singing or something. Or, so you would think. I am a man. I love to sing. But, I noticed this problem from the start. The reality is men do NOT hate singing. Quite the contrary. Historically, men, many mucho macho men, have sung fight songs, love songs, bawdy songs, drinking songs, et al, for thousands of years. It's really no different now. So, why the problem? Maybe it's because, first of all, they don't like going to church anymore anyway. Who wants to listen to sermons about failed societal positions or failed doctrines of prosperity when what should be preached is correct doctrines for living. Jesus was not a wuss! Plus, they have to sit and listen to women berate them about how they are animals and can't/won't/don't treat their women right. Why do we not hear about women who can't/won't/don't treat their man right? When was the last time you heard one of those?
So, for the man, the choir is filled with women and he does not want to be in the same room with most of them. Especially if the choir director is a woman. Let's face it, most men don't like taking orders from women. (I know I don't.) I mean would you charge a hill if General Patsy Patton said to?
Now, having my own ideas about what the Bible says about authority and leadership in the church - which I will go into at a later post - I will note that because of the dearth of men in the church today, somebody has to take charge. But, we have the same women who have been indoctrinated by the feminist schools and the feminist media doing the taking. Good God! No wonder we've got problems there!
