The men who want their comforts met on Sundays are not the men who will go to prison for the faith. The men who make conditional demands on their worship of God are not the men who will suffer the loss of finances, shelter, family, etc in order to worship God. They are creating a god in their own image

Well said.

It is not the feminization of the Church it is the liberalization of the Church.

More of the same I'm OK - You're OK crap from the 60's & 70's that seems to be infecting everything else in American life these days. IMO too many Churches have taken the focus away from salvation and moved it to making everyone feel good about themselves and others.

Clearly love and brotherhood of man is a critical part of the Christian experience but many have taken them and completely replaced the teaching against sin.

Men react to this instinctively since everyone knows we tend be geared more to problem solving than discussions of love and feelings.

Amen to that!

It’s an easy-sell because there’s no conviction. Osteen sells out 50,000 seat stadiums to preach on the powers of positive thought and prosperity, and subsequently deludes those 50,000 into a false belief.

We need STRONG G O D L Y MEN, not just in the church, but leading their FAMILIES in holiness and obedience to God’s Word. The man who defaults to the church to teach godliness to his children is going against Scripture.

Amen again. The difference is that many believe they go to church to be served. The truth is, we go to church to SERVE. To serve God, and to serve the brethren.

God’s commands are, at their root, simple. It’s the man-centered, seeker-friendly motives that complicate things.
