Let’s talk about the positive aspects of fatherhood. And to do that, I call your attention to the familiar story of the prodigal son, & especially to the father of the prodigal son.

It seems as though before you get out of one mess you find yourself in another. So what do you do when you get angry with God.

“When We Get ANGRY with God” Psalms 34 : 15 – 22 People say that you can’t do that, they say he is God and you can’t get angry with him, that’s taboo, sac religious, and dangerous; however, we do it anyhow.

Money may actually distract us from Kingdom priorities. Some things money cannot buy are compassion for the needy, passion for the lost, and love for one another.

But I cannot figure out how thou goest out so fast and how thou comest in so slowly.” Ogden Nash, ...read more
