“Humility is an inner quality of listening to others, giving credit where credit is due, and seeking the well-being and respect of others.”

At the end of [Man Church] events, there’s a moment where we have children pray over their fathers, and if I think about it for too long, I’ll get emotional. I’ve never experienced anything like it in my life, to be on a stage and watch hundreds of kids put their hands on their dad’s heads or shoulders and pray over their dads.

On my first Father’s Day as a dad, I preached a message titled, “A Father’s Desire for a Godly Legacy.” I envisioned my funeral and what I would want my son to say about me:
- I know my father loved me unconditionally.
- I know my father loved my mother unconditionally.
- I know my father loved God unconditionally.

This past year has been challenging. … Some things have changed, yet keep in mind that some things have not and will not change. God is still sovereign, Jesus is still the Savior, the Holy Spirit is still speaking and the Bible is still the sufficient word of God. [Millions have died due to COVID-19] yet man’s greatest need is not a cure for the coronavirus. Man’s greatest need is an answer for the virus of sin, for all have sinned and fallen short.
Jesus is still the answer, the only way of salvation. … People need to hear the good news of the gospel. … May God help the church to under-stand and to make the changes that are needed so the church can take that message to a lost and dying world around us!

Let us love and sing and wonder. Let us praise the Savior’s name. He has hushed the Law’s loud thunder, He has quenched Mt. Sinai’s flame. He has washed us with His blood He has brought us near to God … from John Newton

What would it look like if we worked harder and more creatively at loving our neighbors?

“An unchurched Christian is a grotesque anomaly. The New Testament knows nothing of such a person. For the church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.” —John Stott

“Your great love for us poor men can be seen in this: You have given us, instead of a heavy cross, a light yoke; instead of your bitter sorrow, indestructible joy; instead of your awful death, eternal life.” Balthasar Hubmaier

“For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property” (Matt 25:14). My entire existence is His property, not my own. And I will soon report in and give Him an account of how I stewarded His property. Solemnizing. Dignifying.
@ricklance
There are times when we make prayer requests but then we do not offer praise reports. We have much for which to be grateful.

Don’t fear admitting your weakness, because it’s in these moments that true strength is found, but be very concerned about the temptation to convince yourself that you’re independently strong.

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…” Praying for us who know our Father to delight in Him and praise His glorious name. May we rest in His fatherly arms — safe, secure, in Him.
@sPeytonHill
It will never be enough to say that you believe in the inerrancy & sufficiency of the Bible. Throwing those phrases around mean very little. We will know your stance by how you read, study, interpret, & teach the Book.

Jesus commands not just tolerance of those who are different from us, but deep, expensive, unrelenting love. — @RebeccMcLaugh
