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 […]
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 […]
Saving and sanctifying faith “For by grace you have been saved through faith” and, “So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” Paul to the Ephesians and James are writing what the Spirit is showing them. It is such a joy to see God work through faith. We receive salvation by […]

Humility I hope you are not reading this devotional just to find a way how to get rich quick. If so, save your two minutes and apply them elsewhere. The American Dream has attracted many to reach for the upper rung of the ladder, financially. Few attain it, and most through very hard work, intelligent […]
A family restored In Rwanda, Bosco and Derrick have discipled seventy men over the past months through the From Faith to Faith fatherhood program. There have been many victories in these men’s lives. Derrick recently shared the following testimony of one of their participants. We wanted to pass this on to encourage all of us […]
Hardworking My early years as a young boy living on the farm in Tennessee that my grandfather managed right after the Great Depression, I observed the work ethic of all my family. They truly believed that if you were not willing to work and carry your load, you didn’t deserve the basic benefit of food. […]
From generation to generation A year or so ago, I started a session on FaceTime with our youngest grandson who was 14 at the time, now 15, who lives in Great Barrington, MA.
