     | 1,497 views

    Men have become followers, not leaders. In too many cases men have abrogated their positions through a bad Christian walk, laziness; a careless, unconcerned walk with the Lord. A failure to be students of scripture with nothing that God can use, leaves a spiritual vacuum for the next generation.
