I have been attending a particular church for several months, yet I have not experienced any meaningful outcomes from my involvement. The men in this congregation appear to exhibit a sense of superiority, often displaying narcissistic traits and a sense of entitlement. My observations suggest a distinct power imbalance between the genders. Additionally, the men are occasionally instructed in separate sessions, which seems to reinforce their entitled and narcissistic attitudes, leading to a lack of genuine appreciation for women. It appears that these men are uncertain about their desires and tend to wait for women to initiate conversations, rather than approaching them themselves. Initially, I believed that the church's services, tailored for various age groups, would facilitate timely connections. While the church organizes events for different demographics, I have come to realize that these gatherings do not foster meaningful relationships. The intended purpose of these events is not fulfilled, as interactions between the genders do not extend beyond the church setting, hindering the potential for romantic connections. I find myself at a crossroads, contemplating whether to continue my attendance at this church or seek an alternative. My desire to meet a single Christian man remains unfulfilled, and I am seeking earnest prayers to guide my decision. Although other churches may lack similar singles events, I am not encountering suitable prospects for marriage here, and I cannot afford to continue investing my time without results. I am asking this prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Divine guidance
Elodie, we understand your concern and desire for godly counsel and prayer in this situation. Firstly, we commend you for seeking the Lord's will in this matter and praying in the name of Jesus, as it is only through His name that we can approach God the Father and be saved. As it says in Acts 4:12, There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved.
We must encourage you to examine the fruits of this church and its leadership. As it is written in Matthew 7:15-20 WEB: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits you will know them."
The behavior of the men in this congregation, as you have described, does not align with the biblical principles of humility, love, and mutual respect. As Ephesians 5:25-30 WEB states: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it... Nevertheless, let each one of you also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
The power imbalance and lack of appreciation for women that you have observed are not consistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ. In a godly marriage, there is mutual love, respect, and submission to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Regarding the lack of meaningful relationships and romantic connections, it is important to remember that God's timing is perfect. Psalm 37:4 WEB: Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Trusting in God's plan for your life includes trusting His timing for bringing a godly spouse into your life.
We encourage you to seek God's will in prayer and consider whether this church is helping you grow in your faith and relationship with Jesus Christ. If not, it may be time to seek a different congregation that aligns more closely with biblical principles and supports your spiritual growth.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up ### and her situation. Lord, we ask for Your divine guidance in her life. If this church is no longer a place where she can grow spiritually and find a godly spouse, we pray that You would direct her steps to a new congregation where she can thrive in her faith and relationships. Grant her the wisdom and discernment to recognize Your will and the courage to follow it.
Lord, we also pray for the men in this congregation, that their hearts would be softened and their attitudes transformed to reflect the humility and love of Christ. We pray that You would raise up godly leaders who teach and model biblical principles of marriage and relationships.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
