The fastest growing organizations in the United States are clubs.  Like Spanky and Alpha’s He Man Woman Haters Club.  Today it is Biker clubs, Golf Clubs, Baseball Leagues, and well: you get the idea. 

 

Why are these groups growing, especially among men?  Several reasons: accountability, companionship, common interest, and reliability. Men needs these items to grow.  Love is not viewed here as a feeling, but it is shown through the before mentioned traits.  Men view these traits as essential for personal growth and community growth.  Thus, every weekend one will find men at various clubs or organizations.

 

Today is Sunday.  Unfortunately for the church, few men will attend.  The reason is because of the traits that Jesus demonstrated in his life like accountability, companionship, reliability, and common interest are not prominent.  Church is not for men.  Therefore the body of Christ must return to the Scriptures, where men were prominent and lead the church.  Today that is not a popular idea, but it is God’s idea and that is enough for me.

 

Today, if you are a man, read the Bible.  Look at the men in the Bible.  Most of these men were strong, tough, reliable, solid men, who stood their  ground in their beliefs and morals.  Men strong then the greatest body builders or strongest men.  Men of God.
