revr...what do you think about what I said about men learning how to be strong leaders/providers at home? Do you think that has some correlation to their strength as a Christian overall, or their potential contribution to the church or the strength of the local assembly?
It seems to me if men are weak leaders, lazy providers, or abusive, that it can bleed over into the church setting and produce a weak church environment, or one in which women feel the need to step in and produce better leadership.

I think there needs to be much more teaching on men leading their family...the bible says a man that doesn't work doesn't eat as well as their family...
We can spend all the time in the world preaching on Doctrine, Standards and everything else but is that building the family or faith?
There needs to be a balance of both ministrys...Men struggle now to find a voice because Soceity has weakened them in the eyes of others and themselves...
Anything enviromental will shape behaviors and if a learned behavior is allowed to continue it will foreshadow anything else that comes along...
only until one recieves an ultimatum that exacts a change will those who truly desire to continue will change...
Change is often hard and uncomfortable and yet necessary at times to continue...
There needs to be much more teaching on Leadership and men's role in the Church and Society...
