where are the men?

Posted on June 10, 2009June 10, 2009 by Norm

men-silent Twiggy asked an important question in one of her comments.
where’s the men’s comments here …. ?
I am reminded of a book by Larry Crabb called The Silence of Adam.
He notes that Adam was with Eve when she was tempted, but he said and did nothing.
He goes on to suggest that men have been noticeably silent or passive throughout history in regards to what really matters (and annoyingly loud and aggressive in other matters).
We are also noticing this in the Leadership Development Network.
At an information meeting last night, we could ask “where are the men”?
Or go to many churches, and often the men are less in number than women.
There could be lots of reasons for this.
What do you think (and lets hear from the men!!!)?

    As I reread this, I feel the need to celebrate those men who have stepped up in good and positive ways. This is a generalization, a general pattern with exceptions. But I do t ink the pattern is real…

think about it!

Deliberate with caution, but act with decision; and yield with graciousness or oppose with firmness.
