God our Father wants
to Father through you.
Knowing who God is, what He is like, and how He calls us to live defines the legacy we leave to those given to us, for His glory. The greatest tragedy in life is not death. It’s life without a purpose; because the soul is eternal and so are our rewards. Are you fulfilling your God given purpose for your life? Let’s walk through and see what that should look like. The secret of success is no secret at all— it’s the faithful, consistent, and small choices we make in the same direction over a long period of time to please our Father. “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:29,32).
The three most important questions in life are…
1. Is there a God as the final authority? Did He create us?
2. What is He like? Does He care about us at all?
3. What does He expect from us? Are there consequences?
This determines our eternal destiny, both where we will be living and what we will be doing. Everyone will spend somewhere forever. Do you know where you will be living?
The greatest deception in our society is that we can live anyway we want before our God and not be held accountable for our behavior.
Eternity is a long time to be wrong. The Bible says that “It is appointed once for a man to die and then comes judgment” (Heb 9:27). We get no second chances. Job had a few wise questions many years ago: 1) If a person dies, will he live forever? 2) How can a person be right with God?
You didn’t make you, so you don’t know what’s best for you, especially as a father. It’s never too late to start doing what’s right. Who hasn’t failed as a husband or parent? Failure is an event not a condition. You may have failed, but you’re not a failure. Failure is just an opportunity to begin again more intelligently. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Let’s travel down the road together to become the kind of man of God, God intended on you to be, “Doing what pleases the Father” (John 8:29).
If you are a man and you’re married, you’re a leader; and if you have children (no matter what age) you have responsibility to shepherd them like the good Shepherd. How do you do that?
It first starts by knowing what it means to be made in the image of God. Gen 1:27 says, “And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” What does it mean, however, to be made in the image of God? What does that look like and is it done?
Praying to God Our Father: Using 52 of His Attributes
This guide will help you systematically examine 52 of His character traits and over 52 lists of almost every aspect of one's life to pray for, such as family, work, and finding the right job, spouse, house, and even a computer mouse :). This instruction will give you the maturity you need in character, decision-making, and skill. Although we are made in His image, this image needs to be developed. It's not fully developed upon birth or being born again in Him. “Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you” (Psalm 9:10). Today, we need not just competent leaders, but competent, servant leaders that excel in both integrity and skill. Truth needs to be guided by the Almighty Intelligence (AI)—God not artificial ones or the algorithms of social media. Let’s raise up leaders like this starting with ourselves. Let’s build our house on the Rock. Let’s strive by His grace to develop more into the image of God Spiritually, Morally, Artistically, Relationally, and Thoughtfully (BE SMART) to give Him the highest glory He deserves one step at a time.
Communicating Like Christ: The Master Plan for Healthy Relationships
How can we build solid, healthy relationships? "Communicating Like Christ" contains the biblical blueprints for divinely inspired interaction as we all journey through life. Here, we can glean from Jesus' own conversational skills and the compassionate heart behind them, using His methods revealed in this book. These skills are founded on the attitude of love and respect, demonstrated by God the Father calling publicly from heaven to His Son on earth when He said, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased." (Matt 3:17) It takes the best architects, laborers, materials, and methods to create the highest-quality buildings. Let’s learn from the master designer of communication to build healthy relationships with those He brings into our lives for His glory. May we make the most of every opportunity to love like Jesus. Remember the goal of any relationship is how can you be more like Jesus to the other person and how can you help them to become more like Christ. This is the primary objective to life. Solving the problem or achieving a desired outcome is important, but secondary to our missional calling to love like Jesus and preach the GOSPEL (God Our Savior Provides Eternal Life).
Thank you for seeking the Lord and letting Him teach you the truth from His word. John 8:32 says, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Free to be all that our loving Father wants us to be as His son or daughter in Christ. It’s never too late to start doing what’s right. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Praying the lord will guide, provide for, and protect you all of your days. He is Almighty and cares for you. There is never a reason to ever worry IF we truly know God. We get to know God by understanding who He is by what He has created (people/the universe), written (the Bible), and who He has sent (Jesus). Call on Him now. Jer 33:3
