*David Murrow’s book, “Why Men Hate Going to Church,” struck a chord when it was published in 2005, says BCNN1.com.
Seven years later, male church attendance is still low. So David went searching for the answer. What he found is reported in Why Men Hate Going to Church: Completely Revised and Updated (Thomas Nelson). Drew Dyck talked with Murrow about reaching men and creating a church atmosphere in which they can thrive.
Make very simple changes, mainly in the area of décor, language, and culture. These can be very subtle. Here’s a piece of low-hanging fruit: If you want a church full of men, simply bring an object into the pulpit every single week. Take your 25 minutes and build it around an object lesson, and I guarantee you in two years you will have a church full of men because men will pay attention. They’ll be thinking, When is the object coming out, and what’s it going to be?

I don’t know why?? I was stationed at Myrtle Beach, and went to a church where the preacher tore women down, from beginining to the end of the service. Never went back. Women are to blame for everything in THEIR rhetoric. and here’s a “p.s.”, the pastor had the nerve to hold us “hostage” until they collected $500.00!!!!!. I can’t laugh now, but then? . . . . . .
meant to say “I CAN laugh now.”
What was the pastor saying that was so negative about woman.
This is so sad. $500.00 is not a lot of money. I am sure it was in the building. When people learn how to give according to the way the Lord leads them the offering will go much faster. The pastor was probably trying to get enough to pay for church upkeep: lightbill, heating or air etc. Nothing in life is free. The main reason men don’t attend church is because they don’t like giving the offering. This has to be a black church because the other race take care of the place where they worship and serve God. It is seldom you see their church run down, dirty and broke Give the money and be blessed by the Word o God!
