Why Aren't More Men Leading Powerful, Transformed Lives? by Patrick Morley

Men, and especially younger men, have become one of our largest neglected people groups. Men are confused about what it means to be a man, much less a man of God. How did they get so confused?
They've run the wrong race (Galatians 5:7). As a result, they've conformed to the values and customs of this world (Romans 12:2). As a result, they've been taken captive by hollow and deceptive philosophy (Colossians 2:8). That yeast has worked its way through the whole batch of dough (Galatians 5:9). As a result, they've exchanged truth for a lie (Romans 1:25). And now it has become a crisis. How do we clear up this confusion?
Some men really don't know how to live their lives. They don't have the knowledge to grasp what it means to follow Christ--not really.
For others, they already know what they need to do; that's not the problem. Their problem is that they lack power to do what they already know they should do.
