Happy New Year

Christian Dads has rung in 2010 with a new site design. Please pardon our dust as there’s still a bunch of revisions going on. We’re not even close to the full launch. Consider this the beta launch. Site contributors will be getting an email shortly explaining everything. 2010 don’t tell God how big your problems are. Tell your problems how big God is!

The Killer Band Leader

Anyone else curious what “the commander of the army of the LORD” looks like? Joshua met this commander who told Joshua to take down the city of Jericho by playing a trumpet. Not exactly what I would have in mind for battle plans. Really, t…he band leader? Lord your ways are not mine… but make your ways mine.

Prayer – as posted in our forums

For the last few years I have been thinking/learning/sharing the “Lord’s Prayer” as not just a prayer that Jesus taught us but as a blue print of how to pray. A few weeks ago I had a length talk with a friend about it and that today I heard a sermon about it again. I feel that God just wants me to share this message with others. 1. Make prayer a priority. Praying is to your spirit as breathing is to your body. For your spirit to be healthy, to grow you must pray. 2. Pray alone. Make time for …

Lets Stand For Nothing

I just read AP sports writer’s Teresa M. Walker’s article on McNair’s pastor and close friend cautioning against judging the ex-NFL quarterback, reminding people who gathered for his memorial not to cast the first stone. Tolerance is going to be the death of the US. As the everyday Christian’s values are daily under attack and repressed the so called leaders of the kingdom of God have become weak and compromised. First it was Micheal Jackson now McNair’s sexual exploits are being over looked due to lifetime achievements. There are ways to comfort a family in loss but please don’t cheapen …

Got your 100 pts?

A man dies and goes to heaven. St Peter meets him at the gates of heaven. “Here’s how it works”, says St Peter. “You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you’ve done and I give you a certain number of points for each item, depending on how good it was. When you reach 100 points, you get in. “Okay”, the man says, “I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never cheated on her, not even in my heart.” “That’s wonderful”, says St Peter. “That’s worth 3 points.” …

If We Live It, They Will Ask

There was a popular movie several years ago that revolved around a man who heard a voice that told him to build a baseball diamond in his cornfield. A statement from that movie is as well-known as the movie; “If you build it, they will come.” A pastor friend of mine has his own version of this sentence with regard to getting Christians to come to an event; “If you feed them, they will come.” As you read through 1 Peter and come upon chapter three verse fifteen, it would seem that Peter had the same idea in mind. This …

Psalm 23

I have seen this in my email a few times. I thought I’d share it this time. Pretty cool how it points out the ways God provides. Amazing, what a great reminder. The Lord is my Shepherd -Relationship I shall not want – Supply He maketh me to lie down in green pastures – Rest He leadeth me beside the still waters – Refreshment He restoreth my soul – Healing He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness – Guidance For His name sake – Purpose Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death – Testing …
