what is going on?

For every 10 men in the average church…
  • 9 will have kids who leave the church
  • 8 will not find their jobs satisfying
  • 5 have a major problem with pornography
  • 4 will get divorced - affecting a total of 1,000,000 children each year
  • Only 1 will have a biblical worldview
  • All 10 will struggle to balance family & work

Do these numbers impact you the way they did me the first time I read them?

My Prayer:

Father stir up from within us a generation of men who will courageously stand against the devastation of mediocrity and who will fight for their brothers, their sons and daughters, their wives, and their homes as called out in Nehemiah 14. Doing all of this so that you our Lord, our Savior, our Warrior, our Deliverer, might proclaim "The Lord is with you mighty warrior".

For every 10 men in the average church, huh? I expect for every 10 men NOT in the church, the stats are about the same...what's wrong with this picture?

Hey man,
I appreciate the numbers. It is always a hard reality to see them, but it is a constant reminder to be on guard at all times.
