[Comment on an article saying Christians men should seek to be married by 23.]

Because if the church was operating as God intends her and parents were operating as God intends them then the secular nonsense of "adolescence" isn't even a thing and a young adult is actually an adult who is young and is ready to accept the full weight of responsibility that God has given His image bearers.

Yet what we see is the church failing to minister to parents and instead bypass them and minister to the children because children are easier and aren't as ornery as the parents. And yet, even as the church seeks to minister to the children, they can't even do that right because in fact she has taken on a responsibility that was never truly hers to begin with for she was never equipped to fulfill the parents' responsibility for them.
