Frankly, i like guys in dresses that preach to grandmas; although, i do not see the correlation, with supposed gender stereotypes.Mr. Mcgranorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851136550476241757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-1357299740558346322012-01-19T14:40:45.596-06:002012-01-19T14:40:45.596-06:00Good insights, both, and thanks for reading.

I aim, most of the time, for unpopular popular, if that is a neo-Hegelian option.Clint Schneklothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707900080657719369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-89136113047529053862012-01-18T13:23:59.612-06:002012-01-18T13:23:59.612-06:00I follow your blog, and only click on the individu...I follow your blog, and only click on the individual postings that show comments. Does that skew the stats if I read the postings without clicking into them?<br /><br />Keep up the good work and don't fall prey to chasing stats. There are enough of the Mark Driscoll's in the world, we need to hear your voice even if it is not popular.<br /><br />Now about that men wearing dresses thing.....I'll get back to you on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-57414969773749012492012-01-18T11:38:25.862-06:002012-01-18T11:38:25.862-06:00Young men used to go to church when the preachers ...Young men used to go to church when the preachers all wore "dresses" and it was full of grandmas. This is most certainly true. Our churches have not gotten less macho and driven them away - this is also true. We are called to seek and save the lost and to walk with one another, strengthening one another in our discipleship. True. The lack of young men in church is a matter of concern as is the lack of lots of groups of people in general, but as a demogrpahic, it is alarming. The pastor/church as macho thing pre-dates Driscoll, but perhaps he has become its face and voice. <br /><br />Are our churches bold enough? Hardly. <br />Do they take the Great Commission seriously? Our words and actions might suggest a disconnect on this. How wide a disconnect, well, depends upon the day. Driscoll nails us on our lack of boldness.<br /><br />The manly thing? Sorry, I do most of the cooking, laundry folding, food shopping, and make sure the coffee pot is ready for my wife when she wakes up. I do this out of joy and love and a shared sense of responsibility in our home. I also bake and garden and lead a congregation as pastor. Driscoll needs a different vision. If his current one drives numbers and reaches young men great - but he is feeding them in part, crap.Pastor Keith Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149224693008760095noreply@blogger.com
