Re: Why men hate church

Side note here - Seems to me I have heard this rant about "Pure Laziness" before - probably more then once I recall.

I do not doubt that there are grown men who are just immature kids who never grew up and I also have no doubt that there are lazy men in churches all over the U.S. of A.

Having said that - not all men (and most likely VERY few) that go to church are "lazy" - in fact, I would suspect that a great deal of men who are faithful to service are not in fact lazy people.

I know many who work long hours, some work more then one job. they provide for their homes - and yes, when the weekend comes, they are tired - who wouldn't be! The level of involvement in anything outside of the home and work should not be used as some sort of measuring stick to qualify those with a good work ethic versus the plain old lazy. This is absurd.

I believe we all need to pray and find our part in the work of God - believe me - but that does not mean that if person A is involved in Sunday School, teached 5-Bible studies a week, and never misses Church is somehow elevated over person B who for many reasons, including work schedules, can't be as involved with several funtions of the Church.

This is where the comparing ourselves is so unwise, and down right foolish. Go tell the next farmer or doctor, or nurse that they are clearly lazy because they don't grace the pew every Sunday, or that they don't "do enough" for the kingdom or souls.

There is a systemic problem with westernized church that goes far beyond the points of this article, believe me..
