Authorities and us

Governing authorities Dads, I especially want to address this to you. Why, because you have the leadership authority in your home to teach your family responsibility as it relates to those in authority over our nation. It must first start in the home because there are many voices that will try to persuade your children […]

Joy-filled living

Discord among the Body of Christ A recipe for joy-filled living. It’s not speaking of family members, although that may be the case. It is addressing the Body of Christ. For it to even be stated would indicate that there is disunity. Just start with the denominational level of the church, here in America and […]

Storms

Praying for rain Storms…can be cleansing in many ways. Here in Dallas and the surrounding area, we had been experiencing pretty intense heat without any rain. I was on my morning walk in the neighborhood and I saw a few clouds in the west. I said, ‘Lord, I’ve asked for things in the past and […]

Stay true and have faith

Drifting Paul was writing to his young disciple, Timothy. He was trying to encourage him to stay true and have faith in the Scriptures which he had learned as a child from his mother and grandmother. There’s always a tendency to drift or turn away from truth, whether in trials or in plenty. We have […]

Take a knee

Taking a knee Take a knee…can mean a lot of things. While playing high school football, during a tough practice, the coach would give us a break by asking us to ‘take a knee’. When a player on either team in a game goes down with an injury, out of concern and respect, the players individually and as a group ‘take a knee’, with some […]

Train them in the way they should go

The way they should go Want a real challenge? Here goes. Raise your children to become what they were designed to be, not the way you think they should be. Look carefully at the verse. Train them in the way ‘they should go’. So many parents, especially dads, begin reliving their lives through their children. They start […]

Where are the dads?

Father’s are important Where are the dads? I’m not talking about men that are just the biological father or live-in boyfriends. I’m talking ‘Dad’! Why am I asking this question? If you’ve known me for any time, you know that I believe that the number one issue in America today is the absentee father. So, what is […]

Fathers, don’t provoke your children

Provoking children Provoke is a transitive verb. It means, among other things, ‘to cause a reaction, usually a negative one’. A few synonyms are: exasperate, incense, enrage, exacerbate, offend, lash out into fury, make one’s blood boil, drive one mad. Not much good seen here. So, how does this happen? Most dads would say, “I […]
