Good fathers are in such short supply...



Good fathers are in such short supply and never so much sorely needed as today.  Good fathers learn to be such because they study and learn where, when and how to draw the line between a child’s needs and wants.  Good fathers are always o duty, even when his children have left home.  Good fathers teach their children to pray, love, give, respect and honor through humble example. Good fathers are willing to take the road less traveled to show their children the path of righteousness.  Good fathers bravely make the unpopular decisions and trust in the wisdom of God.  Good fathers have warm places in their children’s hearts. Good fathers are not ever perfect in their own eyes and hearts but are bigger than life heroes in the hearts of their children.  Good fathers introduce God to their children by allowing Him to live in and through them. Good fathers can stand their ground because they’re standing on the Rock! Good fathers won’t and don’t have to brag about their heroic deeds,  their children are glad to do that for them.

Fathers; “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)

Children; “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” Exodus 20:12 (KJV)

God can and will teach us to both be good fathers and good children.

Read your Bible.

It has been said that in the heart of man is a God shaped void which can only be filled by the presence of God. Mankind has a hunger and thirst for the fulfillment only God can bring but sadly we seek to feed the hunger and quench the thirst with worldly things. God knows what we have need of and has written us a guide to discover how to have fullness of joy and peace. Read your Bible. 4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.  1 John 1:4 (NKJV)

Are you “on schedule” with God or are you running late? If not; today is a good time to start catching up!

1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.   Isaiah 51:1-2 (KJV) The art or process of mapping a journey overland, sea, air or space requires the use of fixed or known reference points along the route.   It naturally begins with a starting points and the identification of a destination.   When covering large distances “way points” are established to (1) measure distance traveled and for (2) course correction to ensure one is still on the planned route.   Way points are also places where one can restock supplies, rest and refit for the journey.   The Hebrews of Isaiah’s time had a “history” with God and here He calls them for a stroll down memory lane.   Modern day Believers also have a “history” with ...

We need not doubt; God is faithful.

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) Testimonials, promoting something beneficial to or for you don't just happen in church. Every TV ad, radio commercial and newspaper ad is aimed at getting your attention and convincing you to make a purchase or subscribe to something new. That is the way of commerce and we accept it as a part of living. Some testimonials you can believe, but remember most are aimed at profiting the one doing the promoting. Christians, the Church are also involved in promoting something they believe will serve to better you; the Gospel of Christ! Through the ages God has pro...
