Where are the Goldy single men at? (Part 14)
Then you have apathy and frustration. In some ways these are together.
You ever notice how you can get women to be passionate about things in church and many times the men are just not as passionate?
I am not going to give all the reasons for this but I can hit on two things.
For one thing men are designed by GOD to be leaders. They are designed by GOD to cover their wives and kids. They are designed by GOD to be walking in dominion and authority.
You have SO MANY men that walk around with no sense of direction or purpose. These are men IN the church. They are trying but many are frustrated. When you get a man who knows who he is in GOD, I mean REALLY knows who is flowing in the things of GOD and his purpose, then chances are you will have a passionate man who will not be walking in apathy and a spirit of slumber.
Trust me when I have attended men’s gatherings and men talk most men who are dwelling in apathy usually are the ones complaining about how things in their life are not going right. They are struggling to provide for their family, struggling to launch a business, struggling to find a job or keep a job, just struggling or frustrated in general.
Many are dealing with racism issues. While I am not one to let any man make me feel low, inadequate, like I can’t rise when GOD has already predestined me and said what I can do in HIM, many men can’t mentally or spiritually grasp that concept. They let racism eat them up inside.
When there is no sense of direction, no strong faith in the midst of trial, no purpose, no passion or knowledge of calling, then there is apathy.
Women can go through and still be loyal to the church. A lot of men are not the same. Men have to feel victorious. They have to feel like they are succeeding and getting to where they want to be in life. When that is not happening the results can lead to apathy. This why I say frustration and apathy can go together.
Men need an encouraging Godly woman in situations like these. They need a GREAT helpmate. They do not need a mouthy woman tearing them down or making them feel like they are failing.
Also, some men, not all but some who are participating in church find that church is the only place that they have power. If they do not know their role in the world in terms of where they are to walk on dominion then they may try to find that power in church. In many ways that is dangerous. We are not called to just be victorious within the 4 walls.
What is the other reason for apathy? Not making excuses for men, but a lot of men in general are just not as passionate as women period. When it comes to sports and man things they will be there like Johnny on the spot. Church? It’s not that the men do not love GOD or are not good Godly men, but men seem to have a different make up than women and you may not see them participate in a lot like the women. It’s just how it is. I am NOT saying it is right. I am just saying that the make up of men and women are different.
I WILL say that you will see a much STRONGER church when the men truly step up and take their rightful places and quit lolly gagging. Reclaim communities, families and the nation. I mean Godly men.
Ok. As we wrap up this series the last 3 questions are:
1) Why do so many men want to be another man’s woman?
2) Why are so many men playing games with women?
3) Why do men cheat?
