We just took 32 men to the Johnny Hunt Men’s Conference at FBC Woodstock, Ga.  It was an absolutely outstanding conference.  Some of the men who went were apprehensive – “are they going to be hugging & crying” – No this was a men’s conference not a women’s get in touch with your feelings conference.

Jesus was a man’s man, not some sissy boy with bunch of feminine sissy boys following him around.  These were men and they were men’s men. Most churches have girly music singing love songs to Jesus which just turn off guys.  I like lots of electric guitar and guitar solos.  I like the sound, but the only place where you really hear it today is in secular rock and some Christian bands.  Most of today’s young men were brought up listening to this kind of music – They really don’t get into the love songs to Jesus.

Pastor Steve Folmar preached an excellent message (Sermon Feb. 8, 2009) on men and being the right kind of father – a father who emulates and imitates God the Father’s character and actions toward his children.

Mark Driscoll has a lot of good things to say about church and about men in church.  Check out the following video.
