Future generations Have you ever seriously thought about what you are believing and doing today is going to impact three and four generations to come? May I say, good or bad! Well, it does. As a dad and a mother. I want us to look closely at Psalm 78. 4-7. “We will not hide them […]
Redeeming Fatherhood This past Friday we had a wonderful Legacy Luncheon featuring Dr. Ramesh Richard speaking on “Redeeming Fatherhood”. Leading up to the event, I continued to have this overriding thought concerning the ministry of Abiding Fathers. We believe that we have been called to be a part of a movement of God for fatherhood discipleship. And […]
There was a celebrity in the ‘50s who had a radio and TV show and it was primarily centered around this expression… ‘kids say the darndest things’. Art Linkletter, a native of Canada, was on to something. And the kids he interviewed really fulfilled his belief. Most were hilarious, some even profound, but all were […]
No Greater Love John 15 in total is one of the most revealing, instructional, personal chapters in the New Testament. It is known as the ‘vine and branch’ text. They are all words of Jesus to his disciples. He demonstrates how we can produce fruit, more fruit and much fruit in our lives. Simply by […]
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 […]

As you read about the investment these athletes and their trainers make, you have to be amazed. The actual time […]
God’s glory My friend John Maisel is continually reminding me and many others to not mess with God’s glory. Yes, Paul said it another way while addressing the Corinthians. Glories can also be translated as ‘boasts’. Whatever you may have accomplished in your lifetime, it pales in comparison to Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Everything […]
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, […]
Blessings Today at church a man walked up to me as we were entering the sanctuary. John was one of the first men to complete the training of Abiding Fathers at our church six years ago. He began to tell me how impactful the series had been to him. He said that the chapter on […]
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 […]
