Being A Super-Dad

You can put that behind you. You can start a godly heritage yourself.

I don’t care how you were raised – you determine how you’re going to live from here on out.

You can stop the heritage of condemnation and start one of PRAISE – AFFIRMATION

and GOOD things in the lives of your kids.

Let me close with a little story. It’s a simple story, but it speaks so well to the lessons that I wanted to share this morning.

3 little boys were in the back yard playing.

Pretty soon they got into this old thing of – you know –

My dad is bigger that your dad – better than your dad, greater than yours.

My dad can beat your dad and all that.

This one little boy says, “My dad knows the Mayor.” Pretty impressive.

The second little boy (to top that) said, “That’s nothing! My daddy knows the governor.”

Well, the third little boy’s daddy – it was his home— his daddy was near the window in the kitchen while this was all taking place – so he could hear what was going on.

He wondered what his son would say to top that.

And this little boy just paused for a moment – then he said with total confidence, he said,

“Your dad may know the Mayor, and your dad may know the governor, but my daddy knows God.”

AMEN! Think about it.

There’s only one thing that’s important in the eternal scheme of things.

• It’s not how much money you make-there’s always someone who makes more

• It’s not how many degrees you have – that’s not going to impress many people

• It’s not how many people know your name

• It’s not how much power you exercise

• It’s not how many influential people you know

No! No! No!

The thing that really counts --- is whether you know God. And

Whether or not your kids, and the other people in your sphere of influence –

Know -- that you know God.

I’ve got good news on that point this morning too!

If you don’t know Him – you can come to know him right now.

…by simply turning over your life in Faith to Jesus Christ this morning.
