The book, Why Men Hate Going To Church has opened many eyes to the growing spiritual disparity between the sexes.  A few days ago, an article appeared in the USA Today, highlighting the statistics which indicate that more women take active roles in churches than do men.  Multiple reasons are given, including the songs we sing (a host of men don't even like to sing.)

Do you feel like some of the songs we sing tilt more toward the feminine perspective than a masculine one?  A song comes to mind - "Arms Of Love."  I'm sure this line would make many men very uncomfortable while singing to Jesus (a male), "Holding me close, holding me near in your arms of love."

On the other hand, it's easy to see how men might prefer "The Battle Belongs To The Lord" or "Onward Christian Soldiers."  Have you ever thought about this topic?  On second consideration, do you think some of our songs and even our approach is geared more for women than men?  If there is truth in this notion, we must reconsider some of our approaches so we don't lose the powerful influence of men on their families.  Your thoughts?
