Father's Day

Satan hates a good, godly father. He hates a man who raises up children in the way they should go, and never strays from that conviction.
My father is one of those men. He has raised my family to love and honor that which Christ loves and honors. And I am so thankful for that. This fathers day we enjoyed fellowship with one another, not just as a father with his children, but as a family who is standing in relationship with Christ and fighting for what is righteous and holy in unity.
In this world, through the flesh, a person can only fellowship and love another with limitation. In Christ, you experience a whole new unity which extends beyond the natural.
On Fathers Day, we as a -righteous in Christ by grace- family stood and fellowshiped and had a blast enjoying the favor and blessings of the Lord.
And God blessed us with the miracles of nature, getting to see, in a little hidden suburban spot, the gorgeous display of God's creation. Fireflies, engulfing the trees which surrounded us, all glowing in unison. Such a beautiful, peaceful sight.

Dad- you are enjoying the favor of God with your family who is now also: "highly favored of the Lord"!


"I would have fainted had I not seen the goodness of God in the land of the living"

--- we, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, can on a daily basis enjoy the goodness of God. This land is alive and ripe with the Harvest! Just as my father enjoyed a taste of the Harvest with his children, who are walking in relationship with Christ, and just as more fruit keeps pouring into the church by his continual sowing. That is God's promise to us also, so let us all go reap!
