Mound, TX (BlackNews.com) - Deceived, betrayed, broken,
embattled, and spousal-hopelessness are conditions faced by
countless women, particularly in the African American population.
However, it is also an issue across racial and socio-economic
boundaries. Alarmingly, the Church is experiencing a growing
tendency toward woman-companionship and female domestic partners
according to Dr. Steven B. DavidSon. “It is understandable
that this would occur. We live in a culture where moving from
one relationship to another without a break is the norm. It
could be a long time between relationships if a woman is waiting
for a relationship-worthy male. Also, other than religious
prohibitions and extreme reactions from the Church community,
these women are not offered Christ-based solutions. Therefore,
homosexual-friendly ministries are seizing the opportunity.
Obviously, the problem also transcends homosexual relationships.
Female single parents, who do not have healthy perspectives
of men, have a major impact on their offspring. No doubt,
many of these Christian women are simply caught-up in circumstances
of dire relational suffering.
It
is particularly ironic in the Church where the man, Jesus
Christ is the central figure. We have found that a believer’s
faith must exceed vocal expressions, desires for revelations,
and ministry status. Clearly, this applies to all believers.
It is also observable that any local church with single
females is at risk. However, as with other personal issues,
most ministries do not have effective Christ-based Counseling
programs. This is particularly unfortunate in an age of
specialization. Many church leaders neglect the model
Jesus demonstrated. He demonstrated that speaking to people
in mass would encourage them to approach Him with their
personal issues one-on-one. Unfortunately, the typical
ministry is well invested in quantity-driven activities.
Quality one-on-one and small-group ministries are often
neglected. So, the suffering continues.”
Dr. DavidSon’s organization, the National Association
of Christ based Counselors is supporting individuals
and churches with a series of free Question and Answer
sessions on the web available nationwide. “We are pleased
to support individuals and churches. Among all that
this offers, we emphasize that people can attend anonymously,
or with full visual and vocal recognition. This approach
allows church leaders to participate without revealing
their identities. We are doing our best through HIM
to make a difference."
