guys and my ministry

             I recently had a discussion with a guy about the role of men and my ministry. He was saying that men should be let in because Jesus lead his disciples (12 men) into similar situations. Honestly I understand his stand but where he is wrong is that no one is Jesus except Jesus. I'm not strong enough to lead men into a sexually charged atmosphere. I know it's not my job to protect men but it is my job to protect my ministry.


             So why aren't men allowed in? I have a few reasons and here are most of them that I can think of off the top of my head.

1. It's a sexually charged place with naked or half naked ladies. That reason speaks for itself.
2. It could lead to lustful thoughts. I don't want to be responsible for that.
3. Lots of the girls may not trust men. Lots of the girls were abused by men.
4. It looks suspect. Who's going to believe that a man is going into a strip club for ministry.
5. It's a conviction I have for this point of my ministry.
6. Men should minister to men and women should minister to women. Only women know the struggles of other women.

       

     I may think of others later but those are the best ones. I may use men to help in other capacities in the ministry. I may also allow men to make their own team and go minister male dancers. Leave your thoughts in comments.
