I\\\'m not sure if by a lack of men engaging you mean they aren\\\'t coming at all or if they are coming and not outwardly worshiping very enthusiastically. If men are not coming, that is serious, especially if they are Christians. If they come, they may be worshipping inwardly. Although I believe we should express our worship, sometimes people are not comfortable being outwardly expressive. They may still be worshipping and pleasing to God. And they may worship in other ways, like giving or serving. It\\\'s worth discussing though.

I agree, we give because of our new identity in Christ, who is infinitely generous.

Thanks for your comments – they are really good and it sounds like God is doing great things in your life. I think we all believe somehow that we can control things and God reminds us all from time to time that he is the only sovereign one. Again thanks for your excellent comments.
