Happy Fathers Day!! My prayer as most of us heard in churches through out the country today is that we realize the heavenly fathers love regardless of weither our eatherly father was good or bad..

The pastor at Church today has five characteristics of a good father..

These are not my ideas they are from a sermon I heard this Sunday

These are the heart of God for you. Based on the parable of the lost son.. Luke 14:11-32

A Good father
1. Loves his kids in spite of what they have done
2. models what is right
3.Makes provision for his kids
4. is always ready to exent love to his kids
5. Gives to his kids, and loves to give them extravigance..

May I be this kind of father!

I've had allot of things happend in my life. Nothing bad, but some of it has triggered some questions to ponder about our own lives. Ask these questions to yourself as you ponder where you life is going.



Question 1



I'm enough effort into everything I do?

Col 3:23 Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly as though you were working for your real master and not merely for humans.





Question 2

Am I close enough to God that no matter what I'm commited to him? Could my life fall apart in front of me and I would still devote myself to him?





Question 3

Am I example of Christ? Does my speach, actions and conduct show the change God made in my hearts? Have I allowed him to change my heart?





Question 4

Do I truly belive that unsaved people are going to hell? Do take oppertuntiys to point them to salvation?

Easter - spring time/new life in Christ

Although you would not notice from the weather spring time is I'm the way. As I look around see how this world must be confusing for those who are without Christ they have no clue what the don't have for allot of them they won't know until it's too late. The question becomes what am I doing to tell others the truth. Am I example of how the truth affects people or am I just like everyone else?

As you go about your days think about the sacrifice, stand amazed at the miricle of God then tell the world about how Jesus died for every person. So that he could tare down the veil and bridge the gap between the creation and the creator.

Pity or Promise

How do you respond when things are bad? Not a bad day but when you feel that life is bad? Do you feel pitiful? My challenge for us is to realize Gods promises.

The Bible says we are overcomers. What we see and even feel is not fact according to God. When you feel defeated realize that Gods word has the power to change your reality.

God has the power to change your image. And fix your failures and shortfalls. Listen to him today what is it that he wants to change in you? What actions is he calling you to take?
