Absentee father When I first was led by the Lord to write From Faith to Faith, I believed that the number one issue in America was the absentee father. Having spent the past fifty years teaching Biblical truth to men in Texas prisons, juvenile detention centers and homeless shelters, I’m still convinced of this as […]
A pile of debris The photo above is of a house that has been wrecked for the purpose of clearing it and building another one. It is in the middle of the most affluent area of Dallas, Highland Park. 99% of the people in the world would’ve considered the demolished house a mansion, even a […]
Building God’s Kingdom In this week’s Zoom Dad Talk with numerous Chinese men, an interesting question was posed. ‘Most Chinese men work 12 or more hours per day, so Bill, how can they abide in their family and be available and present with them?’ How would you answer that? I admit I had to pause a moment […]
Disciple Never before in my lifetime have I seen such a need for dads and moms to step up to the plate and disciple their children. Society at large is out of control. Kids are self-destructing and harming others as well. I truly believe God’s wisdom is not being used and taught in most homes, […]
Man of character We seem to know much about Mary, the mother of Jesus. But not that much about his father, Joseph. Or do we? I find it so interesting that God the heavenly Father chose to provide his Son with a wonderful earthly father. Hand-picked before the foundation of the world. He even fulfills […]
Chosen Joanne and I were guests at the Christmas East-West Ministries luncheon last week. They were interviewing the creator and director of the film series, “Chosen”. This followed the reports of the millions of people who had trusted Christ this past year across the world through their ministry. And the thousands of new churches that […]
Foreknowledge I am always amazed by God’s foreknowledge. Not sure why, he is Omniscient!! He has a plan for his Kingdom and it cannot be thwarted. Recently, our daughter Becky sent me some notes from my study Bible from years back. I had given it to her and she had been reviewing certain passages. What […]
Impact I’ve taught in prisons and jails, juvenile detention centers and homeless shelters for the last 50 years. What I experienced recently provides the wind beneath my wings. Recently, after Covid weakened and Hutchins State Jail reopened, I started back teaching the Abiding Fathers curriculum there. Before the class started, a young man came in […]
Making an impact Rodney, a dad in Florida was introduced to From Faith to Faith material on a trip here to the Promise Keepers weekend conference last summer. He traveled a long way, probably as far as most that were in attendance. He came by the Abiding Fathers’ booth and got the book and study guide. About a month […]
Engineer vs. farmer Yesterday I was asked to participate in a family legacy conference at Duncanville’s First Baptist Church. One of the men in our group commented that there are two mindsets of raising a family. While I may have heard this before, it truly resonated with me. He said these two methods of parenting […]
