Excellent thoughts, well stated. It's no wonder why there are so few men in the church.

Ray,

Thanks. I hope it went well. (And you didn't get fired reading from the writings of a notorious change agent!)

Very true Jay,

Just read this actual quote online and had to share it. Your post therefore was prophetic….

"Just finished the powerpoint slides for tomorrow mornings sermon: The Greatness of the Father. How much better would our homes be if the fathers emulated God the Father! Too many fathers today seek to be as the world would have them to be, rather than as God would have them to be. As a result, their children are negatively influenced."

Actually, let's extend your thought to no bashing anyone! For a worship service, let's build up everyone. At a men's meeting you can bash guys for not doing enough or excepting responsibility, then talk about it.
Got to get to teaching, encouraging, bulilding up each other to good works. Sound scriptual? For sure.
Ofcourse, there are some preachers out there, who would lose the use of most their sermons.

I recently read about this program: http://www.dadsmakeadifference.org/ which is working to teach young men about their role as fathers, and to teach young women to appreciate them.

Steve,

If the posts are going into your spam folder, that's a problem with the settings on your computer.

Assuming you use Outlook, right click on a post, select Junk E-Mail, and then select Add Sender to Safe Senders List.

Many programs use a "white list" to filter email. Any sender not pre-approved is treated as spam until you tell the program this sender is safe.

Jay, Having a few issues still with the conversion to Theobloggers. All email notifications are going into spam file. I have checked the email settings, including those addresses flagged to be sent directly into the spam file. Yet can not find theobloggers named anywhere to direct it into spam. Can your tech guru's help out? Are any other subscribers having this problem? One other thought. I did re-subscribe last night, hoping it might correct the problem. Nope, received todays email notification again in the spam file. I appreciate any help you can share.

Excellent Comments!

In fact, I think I will read from this as I preach tomorrow.

Happy Father's Day!
