When I came, why was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer?

God's question to the people of Israel as recorded in Isaiah 50:2, NIV

I have been a bit hesitant to write on this topic, for it is a difficult one to hear. My question is, "Where have all the men gone?" We all watch with dismay as people in positions of authority intentionally try to stir up racial strife in America... and it is working because men will not stand up and tell them to stop... for fear that they might be branded as racists themselves.

We watch with dismay as our President makes a mockery of our Constitution, and yet there is no one in either his party or the opposition party to call him to task. Oh, they might try to score a few political points, but they do nothing, for this requires courage... and men of courage appear to be woefully absent from the public arena.

We watch with sadness as our nation continues to kill more babies each day than were killed by Muslim extremists in the cowardly attacks of 9/11. Yet there seems to be no one with love enough, with outrage enough, or with compassion enough to seem to do anything about it. Where, we might rightfully wonder, are the men... they are hiding behind the skirts of loud women who demand a "right to choose". Why is there no one to tell these selfish men and women that the right to choose comes before conception?

Again, we must ask, "Where are the men?". I fear that I know where they are. I fear that they are home. Drinking beer. Watching their big screen television. Playing video games. It's not that they are necessarily cowards. They are just too busy to be bothered...

We better wake up, men, or we may end up with no church, no freedom, and no younger generation to support us in our old age. Then, who will buy us our beer and wide-screen television sets?

This is a call to action. I know there are many good men and many, many good women who are willing to do their part. If you are willing to do your part, then this is not an indictment against you, but it is a call to wake up. Our children are counting on us. Our nation is counting on us. And, more importantly, God is counting on us.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for Us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

Isaiah 6:8, NIV
