The American Church Will COLLAPSE If We Keep Doing This

This isn't the only reason practical Christian life advice has become disconnected from reality, but it is certainly at the top of the list.

"I thought church was supposed to be a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints" Goes pretty hard

[michaelmemory]

There is a large swath of men who genuinely are … hopeless. Not even financially or romantically screwed, but hopeless in their future of self, family, or county. The culture doubling down on itself is only making it worse.

The Church needs to focus on this need, without shame, and with a sense that they can have some spiritual refuge from a world that’s getting louder at hating them.

If that doesn’t happen, forget it.

When was the last time you heard a sermon on telling wives to submit to their husbands in everything. Church doesn’t correct women but will hammer men. How’s that working out for marriages and children.

The bible survey a few years ago, showed few evangelicals even read the Bible. The bible give intent.

*I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, * $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.

I recently went to a church as a 27 year old man, and there was only maybe 2-3 others in their late 20s there, many people go to church for community, but I’m not sure how I fit in when everyone there looks like they are ready for the retirement home. Also it makes me wounder about the future of church, many churches will cease to exist.

Back in the days the Bible was written marriages were prearranged so no need to be concerned with being appealing to women. Most people would take the trade or profession of their parents.

I'm a lapsed Catholic. My experience of the Church is rather like turning up to a femminst rally as a man. Jesus was supposed to take our original sin, well, except if you are a man.

Anyway, my 2c if you want men back. Guys want/need at least these three things. Purpose, captainship and respect. Imagine you are a ship captain. A 20 year old man who has just finished building his first ship and is ready to embark on life. You know the ship isn't great, but it's yours and yours alone.

1. Purpose: Now, as a young man you need a destination, a purpose. There are lots to choose from but mostly society tells you the purposes that will be useful for them (not you). Become a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer, the things that make you attractive to women, money and status. They aren't specifically bad and do suit some people, but the trouble is the shadow purposes. The destinations by default to be avoided. Family man, builder, mentor, guide, teacher or guardian. So my question to the Church. Are you assisting kids and young men how to identify their purpose, how to choose one, what paths you can take to reach it. Are the people doing this men and mentors. Those who have discovered their purpose and know how to find the paths. Or are they women who give you lectures about purposes women think will be useful to them.

2. Captainship: Or leadership and responsibility. As a captain with a destination now you need a crew and passengers. These could be relatives, friends, colleagues, or a wife and kids. A captain is responsible for all those under his sail. He must ensure they are fed and clothed, healthy and given the opportunity to grow. He must protect them from the elements and the sea and all the dangers they may face on their journey. As a church, what are you teaching young men about leadership and responsibility. Are you telling them that they must be responsible or they are bad, or are you showing them the great things that can happen when you willingly take up responsibility. Let's say you are responsible for a fellow man. You can either give him a fish or teach him how to fish. In both cases you took responsibility and fed the man, but when used wisely in one case, the man became a useful crew member, no longer a passenger.

3. Respect: A young man has his first ship. He is proud of it. He knows there are leaks, the sails are torn and barnacles aplenty but it's his, he built it and it's ready for his first journey. As a church do you respect his efforts, celebrate his victories, or do you point out his flaws for all to see. Do you offer him advice and tools to help him mend the sails, tar the leaks and scrape the barnacles or do you point to a 50 year old man and tell him that's what your ship should look like, do better.

Your church may be doing these things, but a lot aren't. They are run by women, for women and heaven help the man that steps out of line, including the priest.

Mother's Day preaching: moms are great and the world depends on them.

Father's Day Preaching: Love your wife, love you children, do this, do that blah blah blah

Women get encouragement and flowers. Men get instruction

[jerrys]

I’m just tired of the “man up” trope. Not because I get offended or can’t take it. I went to marine boot camp, I don’t mind getting grilled and chewed up. It’s motivating actually but when leaders only address men’s faults and problems and not woman’s (because they’re scared of woman and getting canceled), I no longer want to be part of those trad con organizations. And I’m a tradcon.

[rileydd]

the church has never been friendly to single men

[Arthirias]

The manosphere is the new church. It's the only place where men can be heard.

[bbsmith]

You really described in a practical way the pitfall of Biblicism, a generic Evangelical approach to grab verses as proof texts for all sorts of things. It's a hallmark of our day.
Your broad point of cluelessness from respectable "Christian leaders" who want to create Biblical certitude where none exists, especially for a modern concept like dating, is cringe.

[FaithLikeAMustardSeed]

There's no fixing anything in this world.

The best thing is to separate from it at spiritually and psychologically, seeking to follow Jesus and finding others who do so as well.

[OGthrodox-uinf]

This is actually much simpler than you’re making it. Women largely feel very safe and Rich and have lots of options. Therefore, the majority of them do not settle down and have families. Men not having wives and families stunts their growth

[magonus]

I don't hear any churches preaching what is plainly said in the Bible—that wives must obey their husbands, so that the Word of God be not blasphemed. It is being blasphemed all across America, yet even among the Baptists, I see nothing but fawning praise to women or fearful tepid comments about "respect" that do not delineate the authority that is supposed to pair the responsibility. The Church has nothing to offer men, because it has given its strength to women.

2:41 The mystery word is: Biblical

Edited to add: Good video though!

[MannTheMiddle]

I've discovered during my life that one can use the bible to teach almost anything, from any perspective. Cherry picked "biblical" explanations and teachings fill the church today.

[Screamingcry]

Church service today isn’t very engaging either, it all just seems very cookie cutter.

[shawnkramer]

Everything is in the Bible. Being rich does help a lot.
