We were talking about this amongst ourselves and came up with
the fact that men like to do things. Sitting in the pew was never
what God wanted. David's mighty men were doing people they
were already doing things before they came to support David.
Men love to work together and see a result, practically or
spiritually. That's why there are so many men's service clubs
now, they are the pseudo church. God's people are all supposed
to be doing stuff. Everyone has gifts and should be using these
gifts for the furtherence of God's Kingdom.

"Some people believe there has been a kind of "feminizing" of the
church, so that many men don't feel comfortable getting involved.
Too much wishy-washy music, tugging at the heart-strings, and
softly-softly preaching. Is there a revolution coming where this is
going to change?"Answer:
The "feminizing" is not specifically of the church but the spirit
within the church. From my experience speaking with other men
I have found them to be oppressed by the very spirit of "Love"
within the "church" that has disguised itsef as the Spirit of Love.
The church has become a habitation of unclean spirits and this
has darkened the Gospel that was given by Holy men of God.The spirit that has infiltrated the "church" has caused many men
who are "real men" to be repulsed by its presence.

My Pastor's wife suddenly kept getting the word from the Lord
"Get rid of the pink in the church!" "Get rid of the Pink!" We
looked around the beautiful sanctuary, decorated so elegantly,
yet predominantly feminine mauves and muted pinks." It was a
word for our church and we knew it was because we had many
more women than men, something we'd been praying about.
