Why We Have Fathers

Contributed by Jim Kane on Jul 4, 2004

We have fathers because God made it so “in the beginning.”

A Father Who Deserved Better

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jun 11, 2003

The father in this parable certainly deserved better than what he received from both his sons. I think we can all agree that our heavenly Father deserves better than what He receives from His children today.

A FATHER WHO DESERVED BETTER 11 Then He said: "A certain man had two sons. 12 "And the younger of them said to his father, ’Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 "And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed ...read more

What Makes A Good Father?

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jun 19, 2012

Being a good father is more than just bringing home a paycheck and meeting the physical needs of your children. It’s not enough just be a good father by the world’s standards; fathers need to be the spiritual leaders in their homes.

What Makes a Good Father Proverbs 17:6 When asked what is a good father? One replier said, “A good father is one who provides and is always there when the child needs him.” 1 Timothy 5:8 tells us “… if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his ...read more

The Power Of Love

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Oct 28, 2007

Often we reject our role as disciples because the thought of leading others to Jesus scares us. We don’t think we know enough about the Bible, or understand enough about theology, or believe we’re good enough. And we’re right.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) As disciples we are all Christian leaders. That’s a concept we may not all be comfortable with. We ...read more
