Men, Marriage, and Pornography

One of my passions in ministry is working with young men. I long to see men rise up once again and lead their homes and churches instead of being spineless, passive pansies. One thing I am very concerned about is the propensity for men today to postpone responsiblity. Men, driven by selfishness, postpone marriage and adulthood, while they play XBox 8 hours a day and use women 24 hours a day.

On his Reformissionary site, Steve McCoy quotes Mark Driscoll's new book that comes out in May. If you scroll down to the main heading "Themes, Quotes & Content" and then look at Mistakes and Frustrations, the second paragraph speaks of Driscoll's interaction with a discouraged man struggling with pornography. The author's advice is blunt and worth reading (rated PG-13, for sure).

In addition, read Dr. Al Mohler's article entitled "The Generation That Won't Grow Up."

I had an interesting conversation today with a very sweet girl that thought it was cool I waited until I was 29 to marry. I let her know that her frustrating experiences dating men and their selfish delaying of marriage were not at all unrelated.
