Marcia, this is very good and timely. Our children, sons and daughters alike, need godly male examples--our boys so they can follow in their footsteps, our girls so they can understand what to look for in a husband.

Speaking from a male perspective,  Lots of men have failed God in being examples of godly men to the families. But I also know Men that loved the Lord with all their hearts. Men that followed Jesus, Men that believe the Bible is the inspired Word of Almighty God. I believe there's a powerful place in ministry for those dear Sisters in Christ. If we all carry the load then the load will get lighter. Wake up my Brothers in Christ. Let's get all excited and go tell everybody about Jesus the one who died for me.

Thank you for your input Beverly.  I could only pray that they turn around before it is too late.

Jimmy my brother, thank you for your input.  It is greatly appreciated and needed.  I have spoken to many women and there is a lot of anger in the homes because all I hear from them is their men are not bending their knees to Christ.  Women want their men to join with them to pray with their families even before adversity strikes in the homes and because their men are not doing so there is a division in the homes and all hell is breaking loose in the families.  I have many friends who are now on anti-depressant  and anti-anxiety medication.  Some were admitted to the mental assylum because of the stress this brings and the children of course is way out there.  The women are saying they are fed up of praying for their husbands to turn around and they are fed up of bearing the Spiritual and financial load.  This is for real all we have to do is look at the t.v.  It all begins in the homes.  Many grandparents are raising their grandchildren because the fathers of these children are not bearing their responsibility and the grandparents are stressed out from the burden.  My husband and I had to pitch in and we decided to go all the way in helping our daughter because the children's fathers have not contributed to their lives financially or otherwise.  I have friends who have to live their lives to accomodate their grandchildren and they are completely at their wits end.  The little money they had saved up for their retirement they now have to spend on their grandchildren.  It is like an epidemic throughout the world.  Many of these children's fathers just do not care about their own.  They are going from woman to woman and if you speak to them they will tell you that is all they know to do because that is what they saw their fathers and uncles do, so it seems natural for them to behave that way.   I have never seen such weakness in the male species as it is today.  My heart is so broken.  I cry many times for the women and children.  I have prayed for the men and have heard the testimonies of women whose prayers G-d has answered because they may see a little breakthrough in their men, and then these same women will tell me that their men went back to the same lifestyle and things have gotten even worse in their homes.

I think if I feel like this, how much worse Jesus feels to know this what He came down here and died for.  The Holy Spirit is grieving so much, but we all have the free will to make our own choices. 

Dear Jesus, only you know what it will take to turn this around.  I am sorry to be so lengthy my friend but I had to lay it out there.  Please join me in praying for the men that they yield to the wooing of the Holy Spirit. 

May the Lord bless you and those who are faithful to Him according to His promises through Jesus Christ..

Hi Marcia.  A good book to read would be "Why Men Hate Going To Church" by David Murrow.  That would explain a lot of the "why's" of why men are not doing it.

Marcia, a greatly needed and timely post. I too believe men had better wake up. One of the first things I picked up on, after I got saved, was the 34th ch of Ezekiel. Personally I think every man needs to read it and put himself in the shepard's place. Jimmy I also agree that there are some really great men of God out there that are persuing Him. Good book Stevie and you're right it does explain some of the why's. Blessings my friends.

Thank you Tim.  This is another confirmation to what I have also received.   Here is a link to the blog I wrote on Ezekiel chapter 34.

P.S.  Stevie I just want to let everyone know that regardless of why we think this or that, it still does not tell us women why men have not taken up their responsibilities in taking care of their household in a biblical, spiritual and financial way.  Jesus never told His disciples to go and build a Church, so this has nothing to do with (men going to Church).  Women are not loooking to evaluate why men do this or that.  Too many books are written by people.  I say let us all read the bible and act according to biblical principles and follow the ONLY one who has overcome ALL THINGS.  Jesus never said follow anyone other than himself.  The problem right now is people are emulating the wrong people and Satan is having a filed day in the homes.  If our men do what Jesus commanded them to do I know 100% of the problems in the homes willl be resolved.  It begins with the leader.  Women have taken on a responsibility that is just too much for them to bear.  All we need is for our men to begin to seek the Lord with us and join with us in praying for the problems we encounter.  It only begins with a prayer.  That is mostly it in a nutshell my friend.  When two agree in touching anything on earth it shall be done.  We have too many that are not agreeing biblically.  The Pastor is not there when there are problems in the home.  What does that man do then?  That is the question.

Stevie, I got off the computer and my bible was open to the following, which is confirmation of my above comment.  I believe the Holy Spirit is speaking here:

Ecclesiastes 12/10-14 KJV
The preacher sought to find out acceptable words and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.  The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.  And further by these, my son, be admonished: of making much books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:  Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole
duty  of man.  For God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.

We all need to pay heed
Shalom my friends

Marcia, the other blog was great. I was a little more hard headed than you though. God had me read it 6 times before He told me to put my name there and read it slower, meditating on it. WOW !!!!  Did I get it then. Since I have spoken to many people about what God had shown me. Thanks again my sister. Blessings to you.
