I am interested in finding a good Bible Study course geared toward men.  Our church has two different study groups for women, but nothing offered for men.  Also tips and ideas on leading a successful study and getting men to the study as well as to participate.  Any suggestions would be welcome.  I haven't done a lot of looking yet so I'm open to any and all ideas.

Actually I grew up Southern Baptist and my leanings still are towards those doctrines and teachings.  As I have gotten older and started questioning things like why I believe the way I believe or what I truly think a particular verse or passage means, I have joined a church that is non-denominational.  I still find myself cringing when I see people raising their hands in praise or when the arrangement for old hymns are changed to a more contemporary style but I am working on that.  I have never believed that my beliefs on doctrine were necessarily the only way to worship, it was just the way I chose to worship.  I guess you could say that I am still pretty conservative in the way I choose to worship, but I would never tell anyone that they are wrong in the way worship unless of course it is obviously not Biblical.  I figure it is not my place to judge one way or the other.

As a new poster to this forum, I have not yet got a feel for everything here but like what I have seen so far.  I am currently attending a church with approximately 250 in regular attendance.  The church has recently gone through a rift and lost members and was in turmoil for a while.  In contrast, I came from a church that was down to about 90 members on a good Sunday.  The problem was both churches have let those with the money and the large tithe check determine the direction of the church rather than allowing God to guide them.  The church I am at now hired a senior minister that has put a stop to politics and is fighting the clicks that inevitably form within a church membership.  It has been very refreshing to see a church that is not dependant on the financial aspects of everything and instead trusts that God will provide.   

That being said, I think that when a church is so driven by money and they start allowing those with the biggest wallet to start dictating how that money should be sent, then you are just asking to alienate members and make those that are not as well off to feel less important in the church.  This is a dangerous attitude for a church to have.  As for the megachurches, most merely preach a health, wealth and prosperity message and make people feel good about themselves.  I don't see how that can be a healthy message if you think that just because you are a Christian that your life will be a bed of roses and all things will be easy as long as you attend a certain church or adhere to the teachings of a man which I think is what a lot of megachurch members do. (Of course most of my experience with the megachurches is what I see on TV and read about).  Hopefully this made sense, it's kind of tough to write while at work and getting interruptions.
