"More than 90 percent of American men believe in God, and five out of six call themselves Christians. But only two out of six attend church on a given Sunday. The average man accepts the reality of Jesus Christ, but fails to see any value in going to church."
The Religion of Masculinity: Why Men Hate Church By David Murrow
Our culture is in decay. No more a meaningful opening than that to present the greatest ailment of our Western Civilization society. The process of rotting or decomposition is evident in every institution of our culture. Individuals face the temptations of sinful pursuits and the result is death and destruction. Minds are transformed to rebel against the constraints of what is natural and normal and to accept the taboo, either in compromise or full-threatened revolt, and present it as the living standard for the world to defend Our families have been wrecked by divorce. immoral competition and the absence of fathers to provide for, protect and defend. Neighbors are so far removed from fulfilling the needs of mankind that the government has intervened to politically and correctly group us into communities. In fact, we have been so entrenched in central planning that our government, yea We the People, have stricken "Founding Fathers" from our approved conversation talking points and fallen woefully in lust with Mother Russia. We are so aligned with the theories of Marx and Mao that we must update the Bible to identify teh Greatest Commandment as such:
"Love the State with all of your heart, mid, soul and strength. And, Love you're comrade as the State says that you love yourself."
Our economy has literally flat-lined under the duress of high taxes, the obsessive nature of demand economists to penalize persons for the evils of success and the illicit government objective of redistributing wealth from the haves to the do-nothings. Even our money has lost its luster amongst nations. Our children fail in our educational no matter the noble costs paid to illuminate them with the adaptations of political agendas and progressive ideologies. Finally, it seems that Americans have found it easier to ascribe to the vain teachings and philosophies of men rather than observe the testaments of ages and doctrines of Jesus Christ. It seems that America has exchanged the Faith of Jesus for the faith in princes' promises. Our culture is decomposing around us.
In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate — look to his character....Noah Webster, Letters to a Young Gentleman Commencing His Education, 1789
The decadence has been most exhibited in our churches and in our government. In one, God has elected his "called out" ones to "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." However, corruption has been etched into the fabric of Church life. Pastors are marrying boys and being lifted up as Kings. Liberation, gender and homosexuality theologies have garnered greater references in homilies than the Scriptures themselves. Men are proving that the world's possessions provide a greater status and comfort than the Holy Spirit. For many, the sanctity of the Church appears more secular than sacred. In the other, God's elect have not produced and promoted men that savor freedom and stewardship. They have elected men that would rather introduce tyranny in the lives of every American. The pursuit of nobility rather than liberty has fundamentally transformed America. Yet, in the past four decades, only government has been challenged by grassroots efforts to defend its sacred documents. Yes, the Constitution has received a defense while the Scriptures have languished. Each, the Constitution and the Scriptures, has been weakened. Men have not been absent from the defense of the Nation's Founding document. However, for over five decades, the Church has been a male desert. Absent of men, the Church has struggled to morally lead a Great Nation. Absent of men, generations of children have gone without a disciplined course of character. Absent of men, families and neighborhoods have faltered. Absent of men, the Church has lost accountability and relevance in our society. Absent of men, Our Nation will struggle rather than thrive. Our Nation's two most powerful cultural institutions--the church and the government--need reformation in order to jump start the peace and prosperity of our people. For this we cry aloud for our Men to Return to the Church in Prayer!
There are three points of doctrine the belief of which forms the foundation of all morality. The first is the existence of God; the second is the immortality of the human soul; and the third is a future state of rewards and punishments. Suppose it possible for a man to disbelieve either of these three articles of faith and that man will have no conscience, he will have no other law than that of the tiger or the shark. The laws of man may bind him in chains or may put him to death, but they never can make him wise, virtuous, or happy.John Quincy Adams, Letters of John Quincy Adams to His Son on the Bible and Its Teachings
We Call One Million Men to March Into the Sanctuaries of America and lead us in prayer for for the restoration of our Nation, its People and Our Cultural Institutions.
Why This Call? Daniel Suarez, New York's Bethel Gospel Assembly Leader, puts it this way:
To all men, a request has been made for us to pray at our local church (The local church we attend) during service. The purpose for this is to gather men as one around the globe to pray regarding the issue we're witnessing domestically and globally. This event is happening on Father's Day. Therefore, whether you're a father or not, the request is to gather as many men as possible globally to simply pray about the issues we see happening. At some point while you're in service, remember to pray about any issue the Lord is burdening your heart to pray about. I believe the Lord will hear us and will begin to move by His Spirit as we gather in unity to pray. God will hear and He will respond. Let's go together boldly to the Throne of Grace to obtain Mercy & Grace in our time of need for help. May the Lord bless you with His grace, peace, and love abundantly. "It's all about the LOVE of God."
What Has Been the Response?
GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE "MILLION MAN MARCH TO PRAYER" SLATED FOR FATHER'S DAY IN WASHINGTON, DC
June 14, 2015, Washington, DC -- On Saturday, June 13, 2015, the Anacostia Coordinating Committee (ACC) met with area community, political and spiritual leaders to promote a "Murder Free DC". ACC convened at the Gateway DC's R.I.S.E. Demonstration Center on the St. Elizabeth Campus. The meeting served a dual purpose of holding Mayor Muriel Bowser to the task of making DC Murder as she had promised during her election campaign. The second was to eliciting ideas, plans and events from area leaders that would reduce violent crimes and murders in the East of the River community. The recent Murder of 27 year old Journalist Charnice Milton sparked the call to action by city leaders. ACC Executive Director Philip Pannell announced the emergency meeting during Milton's Funeral.
Clergy Agreed to Promote June 21, 2015, traditionally known as Father's Day, as "Bring A Brother to Church Day". On this day, Area Churches will encourage males--men and boys--to attend services. Each participating area elder, minister, pastor and priest will galvanize their congregation, throughout the week leading up to Father's Day, to invite all men to their respective churches to receive a special message, an invitation to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and to partner with each male to improve themselves, their families and their neighbors. Attending clergy agreed to recruit area religious and community leaders to promote this activity throughout and reach "the least, last and lost". Many see this as an earnest way to reconcile men to Christ, make men accountable to each other and restore men to their place of leadership in families, neighborhoods and society. Others see this as a prudent way for spiritual leaders to take the helm in solving societal issues that federal, state and local governments have struggled resolving through education, poverty and economic development programs.
We ask that you call upon every man and boy to attend your services on Sunday. Great Grandfathers, Grandfathers, Fathers, Uncles, Sons, Nephews, Cousins, Military Brethren and All Other Males. Our Nation's Culture Stands in Need of Reformation. Without the Strong Man, we shall be lost and of all men miserable.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. [2 Chronicles 7:14]
Men prepare yourselves accordingly and request all follow the outline for Father's Day Prayer. Please Share this around teh World that may heal our Lands and Conquer the Enemy.
