Father’s Day Quote from Pastor Tony Evans! FGGAM QUOTE of the Day: “When a man does not live according to the biblical definition of manhood, it shows up in his own life and in the lives under his influence and care. When we look around our world today, we can see a lot of wear and tear. There is a lot of wear and tear on women who are being misused, abused, or neglected. There is a lot of wear and tear on children who are being forgotten, misled, or turned loose. There is a lot of wear and tear on churches that split, sit stagnant, or fail to develop men who grasp the abundant life or high calling to discipleship. There is a lot of wear and tear in our communities and our nation as the economic, educational, racial, criminal, social, and health care wars dismantle our stability. We cannot resolve any of these issues without first addressing the cause of them. Many men are not aligning themselves with the purposes of God’s kingdom. Until that alignment is made right, wear and tear will only perpetuate itself, resulting in counseling and pastoral offices like my own continuing to be flooded with the fallout.” Pastor Tony Evans in his book, “Kingdom Man”
LOVE THIS FROM LIFEWAY RESEARCH AND DANIEL DARLING!
The Bible talks a lot about generational faith. But a father’s faith doesn’t automatically become his child’s faith.
By Daniel Darling
It was 1971, and a twenty-year-old young man—just starting his apprenticeship as a plumber, living with his sister, escaping a broken and chaotic homelife—walked forward at a Billy Graham Crusade at McCormick Place in Chicago. That young man was my father. In that moment, he found Jesus, and a family that had very little interaction with Christianity was reborn.
FGGAM Shares a Biblical Worldview Everyday:
“The Biblical worldview says there is a God—One who is personal, powerful and caring—who created the world and everything in it. It states unequivocally that man is created in God’s image, living in essence as God’s co-regent over creation. Mankind—born and unborn, rich and poor, able and disabled—has intrinsic worth. Almighty God is a sovereign God, ruler over nations, states, empires, and governments. He is to be worshiped and obeyed through the precepts and principles revealed in His infallible Word. He not only exists, but He is sovereign over all of history according to His wisdom and purposes, and He is intimately involved in every aspect of life.”
