Revolution - a man's church

I am always a little leery when women become the primary participant in religion. I know that nationwide, women are far more likely to attend church, volunteer, and be involved in religious things. It's going to sound a little sexist of me, but I don't believe this is the way it supposed to be. I believe men should be the ones leading the charge and their families into a relationship with God.

That said, I am particularly sensitive when there is an open call in a church service for any kind of participation and it appears only women are answering.

This morning was definitely different. We wrote poems to God that formed the acrostic ADORE. There was an invitation to read your poem and at first only women were reading. I was silently praying, "Please men, someone, stand up and show us what a man of God looks like." After three women read, up went the men! I was so excited to see man after man, unashamed to acknowledge his love for God, read poem after poem. Of all the poems read, most were from men.

All the poems were moving and touching and I appreciated each one. The women, as well as the men, did an awesome job of adoring God. The best part for me came when we were asked to place our poems on a large cross in the center of the room. The first six people to rush up were men. How cool is that!!

Way to go men and women of Revolution! It is awe-inspiring to see so many love and serve God openly, without hesitation.

Since it's short, but certainly not the best I heard today, I'll share mine here:

Always faithful
Desiring relationship
Ongoing friendship
Relates to me and my experiences
Eternal love
