The loss of single adult men because of "the deficiencies in our churches’ preaching and teaching"
I went to the website of the article and when I saw “Servanthood Dominion” in their “about” section…Rushdoony alarms began to go off and without surprise I discovered the website to be a gateway to Dominion Theology.
Danger Will Robinson…Danger!
But imagining the article stands by itself I agree that in some respects one might find the situation, as described, in some churches. However, in many charismatic churches you will find it to be quite the contrary. Should we then decide that they are more correct? Obviously not so the very bad suggestion by the writer
Now the method of cursory evaluation based on demographics does have merit but it certainly does not license one to simply be “alarmed” and then “confront” their pastor. It does tell you something but that something must be investigated. Unfortunately the writer of this article appears to believe his conclusion about why there is a lack of single adult men is a one size fits all.
The topic itself, though, is worth a comprehensive study.

So next Sunday go to your church and look around. Do you see young unmarried women and no single young men? If you do, you should be alarmed. You should go to your pastor and confront him about his message.is an impetuous and shallow one that gives off the distinct odor of “crusadership-mentality” based in self-righteous posturing without healthy exploration and discovery on the matter.
