news that affects christians

Truthful news is hard to come by. So in this section I will highlight an interesting item of news that may have far-reaching consequences. I'd love to hear back from you on these.

The Oil Non-Crisis

Tired of paying nearly $4 a gallon. Prices of the gas could be $1.50 a gallon if what Lindsey Williams is true. Listen to what he says about the oil pools in the north slopes of Alaska that could literally supply oil for the entire country for at least 200 years. See Video...

"The tearful praying Christian, whose distress prevent his words, will be clearly understood by the Most High." Charles Spurgeon

Disciplinarian Dad

It is of great importance that our children are disciplined. Perhaps the greatest testimony of a christian parent is their children's behavior. Our children have opened doors for us into many people's lives. However; there is a danger in disciplining and training children that we must avoid.

My dad was what many would refer to as a "disciplinarian dad". My four siblings and I feared his disapproval. He was the established authority in our household. While it is necessary to command respect and be authoritative as a father in the home, we should not allow it to replace humility.

For example, I was talking with my oldest daughter the other day...

It's so good to hear from you. I was really excited to hear that you're going to have the website about the fathers. I think this generation really need it. There are so many non-Christians take the course of Father School in Korea. Many of them are changed. They're really trying to make differences in their family. It's awesome. It's really blessing to become a father. Many people can get married but not all can be a father. All the pictures of your family are on my refrigerator:-) God is good no matter what. I miss you guys.
Until God allows us to see each other..

Once again I have found something of great use from your newsletter. I have struggled lately with discipline. Matteo has had a hard time adjusting to Jack’s absence. I have found that discipline has become much more difficult for me because it feels like it’s consuming my day. However, I realized that I do tend to “deal” with the problem and walk away, which isn’t really dealing with it. I have less time now since I am in charge of everything, but that is no excuse for not doing the most important job that I’ve been given. Thank you for the encouragement and I really appreciated the advice about maintaining eye contact. I will try it.

Keep up the good work.

~A Time to Sow~



Mother's Day Homerun
"This Mother's Day was the best one I can remember. I should probably share it with all you dads out there. It was the evening before Mother's Day. I still had no gift and no ideas. Actually, it may have been night; so I had no chance of getting anything in time. I tend to procrastinate...Here's what I decided on: A QUEST FOR A GIFT"...Read more...



Our Father: a section devoted to christian teaching and encouragement

As Dads, we want our children to pay attention to what we say, and to be obedient to what we know is right. Father's, we often blame our children's behavior on them too much. Experiencing the joy of fathering our own children is the product of being a loving child to our Heavenly Father. Should we expect more honor from our kids than we give to our God. John the Baptist was sent to world with an important mission, and part of it included "turning the hearts of fathers back to their children, and turning the hearts of the children back to the fathers." We want that. And I believe the single biggest step we can take toward it is to turn our hearts toward our Father. I hope these articles help.

Together (A Dream)

"
Soon the sense of danger became imminent. There were storms brewing in the dark distant clouds. Waves began to slowly and gently pound the raft. It became increasingly hard to stay on the raft alone because the weight was unevenly distributed. I began to yell out warning to those in the distance to band together. I tried to alert the swimmers to approaching sharks." Read more...


The Blessedness of Possessing Nothing
| Tozer

"The roots of our hearts have grown down into things, and we dare not pull up one rootlet lest we die. Things have become necessary to us, a development never originally intended. God's gifts now take the place of God, and the whole course of nature is upset by the monstrous substitution." Read more...
