GM FAMILY THIS IS SO TRUE HAVE A MOST BLESSED DAY THROUGH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER GRACE
Today's Bible Verse:
Psalm 119:24
Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors. (NIV)
Today's Inspiring Thought: Godly Counsel
One of the sillier fads that has sprung up in recent years is Life Coaches. For a fee, these people give advice, often based on New Age principles. It seems that confused people would rather turn anywhere for help than to the Bible. But who is as wise as God? Who knows the human heart better than the One who created it? Within the pages of the Bible are timeless principles for living a peace-filled, contented life. Most importantly, this godly counsel was written out of love. If we read God's Word and heed its direction, we can avoid so, so much trouble. When we obey God's commands, that pleases him, and it also brings us true delight.

Today's Bible Verse:

Colossians 4:6
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. (ESV)

Today's Inspiring Thought: Seasoned with Salt

I meet many Christians who haven't read this Bible verse, or so it seems by their ungracious, unsavory speech. If I'm honest I'll have to admit, I haven't always practiced this virtue. But, if we truly want to grow spiritually, we'll begin to consider the spiritual flavor of our speech.

So, what does it mean to have our speech seasoned with salt? Salt enhances the natural taste in foods so that we want to eat more. It also makes us thirsty. Our speech ought to be fresh and inviting, full of spiritual flavor, causing others to be desirous, hungry, and thirsty to hear more.

Wow I just received this and i just had to share it ,much love

Courageous Fathers

Instead of the normal Feed Back article for today, I have chosen to share a short movie review and commentary written by a colleague, Giacomo for another website.  As I read the commentary, I knew I had to share it with all of you and pray that you will be as touched as I was.

I have also seen the movie and found the message to be hard hitting and convicting.  As a father, I know I made a lot of mistakes and the movie and commentary below make me wish I had a chance to do many things over again.  My kids are now grown.  One earnestly seeks after the Lord and keeps Him as the focus in her house.  The other, well let’s just say that we continue to pray for her and her daughter.  Perhaps had I seen this movie or had this Resolution when she was younger, things might be different.

Therefore, please, please, PLEASE pray right now before you read any further and ask God to work in your heart, open your eyes and ears and help you become the father Christ wants you to be.  Then read the commentary below and if you haven’t seen the movie, I can’t urge you enough to buy it and watch it several times and then prayerfully you will print out the resolution, sign it in front of your family, ask some close friends to hold you accountable and see what a difference it will make in your life and the life of your children and wife.

By Giacomo

Where are the Courageous Fathers?

Last night I watched the movie Courageous with my wife, daughter and son-in-law.  It was a great movie and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Without giving anything away, the message of the movie had to do with being the best father you can be and doing it biblically.

In the movie they mention a variety of statistics that reflect the negative effects a fatherless home has on the children.  It results in increased use of drugs, gang participation and committing crimes.  I’ve seen a number of studies over the years that indicate children from a fatherless home are also more likely to get divorced themselves.

Being a father is not just creating a child.  There are responsibilities that come with being a father, and many of these responsibilities do not belong to the mother and should never be left to the mother to fulfill.

One of the title characters in the movie realizes just what those responsibilities are and makes the decision to write a resolution, sign it and then asks his male friends to hold him accountable to that resolution.

What happens next?  You’ll have to watch the movie and see for yourself.  For those that are interested in the resolution, it is printed below.

Men, do YOU have the courage to print this resolution out, sign it and ask your friends to hold you accountable to it?

THE RESOLUTION

I do solemnly resolve before God to take full responsibility for myself, my wife, and my children.

I WILL love them, protect them, serve them, and teach them the Word of God as the spiritual leader of my home.

I WILL be faithful to my wife, to love and honor her, and be willing to lay down my life for her as Jesus Christ did for me.

I WILL bless my children and teach them to love God with all of their hearts, all of their minds, and all of their strength.

I WILL train them to honor authority and live responsibly.

I WILL confront evil, pursue justice, and love mercy.

I WILL pray for others and treat them with kindness, respect, and compassion.

I WILL work diligently to provide for the needs of my family.

I WILL forgive those who have wronged me and reconcile with those I have wronged.

I WILL learn from my mistakes, repent of my sins, and walk with integrity as a man answerable to God.

I WILL seek to honor God, be faithful to His church, obey His Word, and do His will.

I WILL courageously work with the strength God provides to fulfill this resolution for the rest of my life and for His glory.

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. – Joshua 24:15

Heirs of the Covenant: Leaving a Legacy of Faith for the Next Generation

This practical plan for integrating Christian education into all of life shows what happens when believers seek to leave a legacy of faith for the next generation–and to live for Christ today.

True Christian education offers far more than secular education methods sprinkled with Bible stories. It teaches people of every age to think and live Christianly. And it makes teachers of us all. Whether you’re a parent or grandparent, a Sunday school or Christian school teacher, or a youth leader or pastor, you are responsible to help develop the community of believers into a unified, vibrant fellowship; to draw families together in committed relationships that extend beyond generational lines; and to live out God’s covenant with His people in a way that makes authentic Christianity come alive.

This practical plan for integrating Christian education into all of life shows what happens when, day by day, week by week, generation by generation, the church leads its people into the privileges and responsibilities of covenant living. Regardless of your role in God’s Kingdom, Heirs of the Covenant will motivate you to leave a legacy of faith for the next generation–and to live for Christ today in your home, church, and community.

Endorsements:

Susan Hunt’s plea for improved theological education of all God’s children is a timely challenge. She shows how the entire church must be involved–parents, Bible school teachers, and church staff–and provides practical ideas to stimulate thought. I commend her work highly. – James M. Boice, Pastor, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, PA

Susan Hunt takes the redemptive message integrated in all Scripture from the academic’s desk to the elementary classroom, kitchen table, and child’s bedside. It’s biblical theology for all of life! – Bryan Chapell, President, Covenant Theological Seminary

Dear Lord, I come to you as humbly as I know how. I confess my sins, knowingly and unknowingly! Father God, I come boldly to the throne of Grace, and ask for your divine  intervention in the life of my family friend, Derell. Lord, please step in at Your appointed time and bless him with a secure job with benefits. Lift him up where he's been torn down, restore what's been lost. Place him back in his apartment with heat and electricity and food! Please Father God, I petition You, on behalf of this man! Let him see You in all Your glory, in Jesus precious name - Amen!

If you want to overcome the sin that so easily besets us we have to stay in prayer, fasting, witnessing, and studying God's Word.  I know because when i let my spiritual life slide. My old nature takes over. So follow the Godly advice

		Printer version   James 1:19-20 (19) My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, (20) for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. New International Version   Change Bible versions God wants us to be quick and ready to hear Him and His truth. As disciples of Christ, we should always remember that we are engaged in learning from God the Father and Jesus Christ, and a good attitude is paramount in getting the most out of our lessons. Being "slow to wrath" is learning to restrain our tempers and any wrong attitudes. Those that allow anger to trouble them have the tendency to break the law rather than keep it and to contend with ministers and brethren. When one allows wrath or a poor attitude into his thinking, doubts about God's instructions creep in, and disobedience often results. The wrath of man will not produce the right course of life and love of the truth that God requires. The person who jumps to angry conclusions is often one who hears God's Word from the Bible but finds that it does not fit with his thinking or background. For whatever reason, he initially rejects what he hears. This is a hasty attitude, and it is one God does not like. » Proverbs 14:29: He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, but he who is impulsive [hasty of spirit, KJV] exalts folly. » Proverbs 21:5: The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty. » Proverbs 29:20: Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than for him. » Ecclesiastes 5:2: Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on the earth; therefore let your words be few. God understands the changes demanded of us by our calling. He knows our backgrounds and that we have much to learn in following His way. He knows some conflicts will catch us off guard; there will be times when it comes down to His way versus our way. John O. Reid Excerpted from: Having a Right Attitude
