Happy Fathers Day

8 Replies

What is a Father? A Father is symbolically the top role or responsibility that a man can obtain. When we look throughout the New Testament Jesus always addressed God as the Father. It’s a role that requires great responsibility, leadership, commitment, and most importantly love. Psychologist suggest that a Father Love has the greatest influence on a childs life more than anything else

So why do we as a society look so negatively at Fathers? We look at TV and see images of Homer Simpson or Al Bundy. This is the image our society has portrayed the Father. Men throughout history have failed greatly in their role as Father or they abandoned their role all together, this is why I believe we have so many social issues in society today.

However we need to know that we have a Heavenly Father, who will never leave or forsake us. He will show us grace and mercy when we don’t expect it. And his Love endures forever, we can come to know this Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

So today I would like to honor all Fathers, lets strive to be the best men we can to influence and support our children in becoming  the best they can be. Sure maybe we failed from time to time, we can continue to still strive to be the best men for our families in Jesus name!

Happy Anniversary

Two become One Flesh and whatever God joined together let no one separate. As me and my wife celebrate our Anniversary, I ponder the covenant of marriage God made between man and woman. When you understand the covenant of husband and wife being joined together, you understand the beauty of marriage. Two peoples lives transforming into one life in unity with each other.

You understand that your good times are also good times for your spouse. As well as your bad times are equally shared. Everything you do has a direct impact on your spouse. Therefor as a partner you abandon selfishness and think about the greater good of your marriage.

I’ve been blessed to call Heidi my wife, my best friend , my better half, the mother of my children for over 20 years. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her and its because Two become One Flesh. I couldn’t ask for a better partner from God and I look forward to our future

Sure there will be rough times, there will be trials , but as Two remain One , nothing can separate the covenant of marriage. Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife Love You with all my heart

But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:3

When we look at the world today we see total chaos, why? Well one of the issues is gender confusion. A lot of young people now claim they don’t know if they are a boy or a girl. The breakdown of the traditional home, we see the same genders trying to take on multiple roles. It’s all completely failing, why? Because there is no law or order

Lets take for example your job or school. Is there someone in charge at each of these places, of course there is a boss, manager, supervisor or superintendent. Why are these positions put in place? To keep structure and order. Does it mean these individuals are greater than people who worked underneath them? No, it just means different people have different roles

We are rebellious people by nature and don’t want to be subjected to authority. But in order to be obedient you have to be submissive at some point. Jesus Christ rules over all of us, even those who deny him. Jesus is Lord over us ALL. The irony of it is when you submit to his authority you are actually set free!

For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

Many people want Gods love but they don’t want Gods authority. It doesn’t work that way, either Jesus is your Master or you are his enemy. Which is it going to be? Put away your rebellion and submit to Christ which is everything is placed under his feet! Amen!

One Body

Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? 1 Corinthians 10:16

There are so many beautiful things about Communion, it’s a complete shame for any Christian who doesn’t regularly practice it. Besides the fact that Jesus commanded us to “Do this in remembrance of him” (Luke 22:19) The symbolic natures and fellowship we receive from communion is a spiritual experience in itself

The Cup that represents the shedding of Jesus blood, that is the complete atonement for our sins, we share that same Cup of Christ. Think about that, with all the divisions in Christianity, we all share the same Cup of Salvation

The Bread that is symbolic for the breaking of Jesus body on the cross, again we all share that same bread that took the punishment for our sins. The penalty that we deserved , was taken voluntarily by Christ. We partake all in that same Cup and Bread, what a beautiful sign of unity and fellowship

Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:17

We are One Body of Christ, for we all partake in unity from the same Cup and Bread, that was given to us from the One True Lord and God. As we mourn his death and celebrate his victory through the resurrection. We anticipate the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ together! Amen!

Gifts Of The Holy Spirit

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:4

One of the great controversies of Christianity is the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There are some “Christians” who will claim you need to be able to speak in tongues as proof you are saved, while others will claim “if you just have enough faith you will be healed”. These claims are all misunderstandings of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

While I believe that speaking in tongues and healing are legitimate gifts of the Spirit, they are not essential to be saved and they are not gifts every Christian will receive. I have never spoken in tongues before  and I am saved. There’s a lot of “Christians” who will fake having gifts to prove their salvation, You Don’t Need to Do This! In fact your committing blasphemy lying about possessing gifts from God which you don’t have

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11

Paul explains everyone has different gifts based on what Gods wills you to have. To say all Christians have the same gift is not Biblical. Just as God has given all of us some sort of talent, God has also ordained us believers a specific gift of the Holy Spirit. What is your gift? You’ll have to figure that out with God, however I will tell you this you do have a gift!

One of the most abused areas in Christianity is false prophets and teachers pretending to have gifts they don’t possess. Don’t be like them, you are not impressing anyone. Anyone who is truly Born Again can tell you’re a fraud and eventually you’ll be ignored

Rely on the Holy Spirit in everything you do! Don’t just rely on your human talents, God can take your ministry further than you can imagine if you submit to his authority Amen!

Where Is Your Hope?

For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, When God requires his life? Job 27:8

Heres a great question to ponder that Job stated, what Hope do the Godless people have when they die? The irony of this is when Christians raise their children on the Bible, Atheist will call this “child abuse”. How can we teach our childrens such things are they were handpicked and created by God, that Jesus loved them enough to die for their sins, and if they put their faith in Jesus they can inherit eternal life.

I know all these things are horrible to teach children (sarcasm) however lets take a look at an Atheist point of view that they would teach their children.

  1. Since the world unknowingly and randomly created itself that we are just an accident
  2. Since you’re an accident there is no real purpose for your life
  3. We evolved from apes or fish, nobody is really clear
  4. When we die we all cease to exist, never to be heard from again

So this is truly what an Atheist would have to teach their children if there being honest with their worldview. We could also throw in since there is no God, there is no morality, there also is no hope of anyone saving you

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1:3

Because of Jesus Christ we as Christians have eternal hope. Jesus is our Living Hope because he has overcome the grave. God knew us before he formed us in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5) , God does have a purpose for your life (Jeremiah 29:11) We were made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and God has an eternal Kingdom waiting for us (John 14, Revelation 21)

I rather teach my children to true promises from God rather than the lies of this world Amen!
