8/23/22 Joseph
I believe one of the most unheralded examples of utmost faith in God is Joseph. Given the period in which he lived, the idea that his future wife, his betrothed, was pregnant meant so much more than it would today. According to those ignorant of the circumstances, she should be stoned. Imagine, if you will, […]

8/22/22 Support Your Pastor
From the book, The Father Factor, by Jim and Merry Corbett Men, it’s time to please God and lead others to do the same! The marriage covenant and the family unit that is guided by a Christ-like husband and father is God’s foundational unit for a strong fellowship. Living in concert with the Word of […]

8/20/22 Spiritual Impotence
From the book, The Father Factor, by Jim and Merry Corbett If the plan of God is for man to savor only the things of God and desire only to fulfill God’s plan for his life while he presides over the family unit under the complete Lordship of Jesus Christ, then any distortion or compromise […]

8/19/22 Choices
Life is full of choices. Some are major and some mean little in the long run. The choices you make as a husband and father have great impact. They not only affect how your marriage works and how well your children do in life; they also affect their eternal well-being. If you don’t prioritize your […]

8/18/22 Where Are You?
In the movie Courageous, the main character stands in front of his church and says: “So where are you, men of courage? Where are you, fathers who fear the Lord? It’s time to rise up and answer the call that God has given to you, and to say ‘I will. I will. I will.’” In […]

8/17/22 Watch Your Eyes
It has been said that more than 80% of men dabble in some form of pornography. Every one of us has been tempted by the world around us and most of us have fallen at one time or another. I know that I have had to repent to my wife for the things that I […]

8/16/22 Reclaiming What’s Been Taken
If your marriage is out of order and your children have little use for you or Jesus, you have an obligation to do something about it. Counseling won’t suffice. Plans and schemes will produce little result. Anger, frustration, and legal action will adversely affect any hope of pleasing God. You are in a spiritual battle […]

8/15/22 Advancing God’s Kingdom
God’s kingdom advances in part by how your family grows spiritually. You and your family have an important part in the way the world comprehends the Gospel. They see the work of Jesus by the way you present Him to them. Think of the impact you can have in the world around you. Think of […]

8/13/22 The Generation Gap
From The Father Factor by Jim and Merry Corbett Did you know that in God’s eyes there is no such thing as a generation gap? That whole concept is nothing more than spiritually ignorant, psycho-babble hogwash. Spiritually alive parents who have chosen to invest in their children, considering them more important than themselves and spiritually […]

8/12/22 Ask for Help
Being the steward of a Christ-like family is an impossible task. Husbands and fathers, who think they can oversee that kind of family in their own strength, are fooling themselves. Without God’s help and the prayers of others, a mediocre marriage and children who don’t really serve the Lord will more than likely be the […]

8/11/22 Your Table
A family, known in their community as compassionless due to their uncaring attitude for everything other than satisfying their own needs, sat down for their evening meal. One table – adorned with a fine linen tablecloth and exquisite china – was set for the parents and their children. A second table for the grandparents was […]

8/10/22 One Day
Harry Chapin wrote a song called “Cat’s in the Cradle.” It talks of a father who’s always too busy to spend time with his son, even though the son admires him and wants to be just like him when he grows up. At the end of the song, we learn the son turned out exactly […]
