Hey dads, what do you do to “Get Set”? Well I guess it would depend on what exactly you were going to do, would it not? I mean if you were getting ready to go snow ski, I don’t think you would get the sun tan lotion out and put on a swim suit and…
My son had already accepted Jesus as his personal Savior a few months back, but was a bit scared about the whole baptism thing. He did not want to go up in front of all the people of the church and have them looking at him. However this past December,
You see what I mean? This is a daily occurrence and not something that only happens on the last Thursday of November. Guys, have you given thanks to God above for just those simple things that happen and you don’t even notice?
The future is an unknown thing to us. We can try to shape it but it is ultimately in the hands of God, not ourselves. The future is also something that no man can stop. Despite everything that he may try, no man or woman, can do anything to stop the future.
Today I will be discussing a point that is hard to follow through with at times – accountability. No matter who you are, or where you go, you are always accountable to someone.
Guys, I am here today to get to the first of three things we as dads/fathers need to know to be the best that we can be. It is not an easy task to be a dad and even harder when we are going at it blindly. Yet do not loose hope, for there is an instruction book already prepared for you by the best author ever. Today we will cover a topic that we all need to hear about and take responsibility of.
How are you being the best father you can be? Today in modern society there is no other role that is neglected more than that of being a father.
What dad out there has not walked through his son’s room and not stepped on a Lego brick? Yes, the best way to bring out your true feeling in the middle of the night is for a kid’s Lego bucket to be scattered around on the floor. They are small, the colors blend in to…
Guys, my heart has been heavy on the role of a father and what the responsibilities of a father are recently. Today is a second part of the “What Are You Passing?” series. Fatherlessness One of the biggest issues that we, as a society, face today is the issue of fatherlessness. There are exceptions of…
This year I had the honor of speaking at a Men’s Conference at my home church. The 2013 Why Me? Men’s Conference; was August 9th & 10th and I was speaking on something near and dear to my heart, being a dad. The title of my talk those two days was “I Am Not Ashamed…
Jesus taught us how to teach. He taught us that deep spiritual living comes through modeling and through hands-on training. This is where I think youth groups and Christian schools can kill us. So many parents believe that they can pass off their children to a charismatic youth leader. These kind of parents try to do the “drop off discipleship” and they kick their kids out of the car and say “Have a good time and learn something”. They’re shocked when they have invested $100,000 in a private school and their child is rebellious.
Hey guys, do you remember being asked this big question as you were growing up? What do you want to be? As kids many of us wanted to be like our dad. I know I did. I wanted to be the fireman that he was, I wanted to be the farmer he was, and I wanted to be the man he was. Yet when we stop and look at ourselves now, did we become what we wanted to be?
Hey guys, got the time? I have been camping and geocaching the past few days and had a blast with my family and friends. There are few things that can compare with camping, cooking, caching and comrodery.
Dad, are you feeling stale, drained, or like you need a fresh breath of life? You know we go through our lives at times as though auto-pilot has been engaged. We come home, hug the wife, smile at the kids, eat dinner, piddle in the garage or outside, come in and put the kids to…
I am at times asked why we have decided to home school our kids. Before we started, I needed to ask myself the question, “Why should we homeschool?” To be honest about it, there is a huge monetary commitment, a huge time commitment, it is not easy and to the world we appear to be backwards! So why?
