Brothers
& Sisters in Christ,
I want to personally welcome
you to Truth In Life Ministries International. We
are so pleased to be able to share with you through this
Ministry, and to show you what God is doing here, and
has in-store for you.
Our services are held
Sunday at 12:30 pm here at Truth In Life Church. We also
gather every
Tuesday evening at 6:30pm for prayer and Bible study.
We have some exciting
news to share, as we are a fellow-shipping part of
Praise Chapel and will soon have a link to them. Also Pastor Tom has just put
out his new book,
THE TIMES OF THE END.
We praise God for ALL the opportunities that he has
given us to witness HIS Name and Glory. We trust this
site will also be a blessing to you as well. Here is the
message for June 2010.
TOP MEN
Fathers:
1 John 2:1&2, 12-14
It is not customary to
advertise for fathers. If society did such a thing, it
would seek only TOP MEN. Fathers
are not just men who have children but men in which
God entrust a holy role: to
bring up the next generation in the spirit and
desires of God. First of all fathers do not
stand alone. They can not replace mothers; however some
fathers must be mothers to their children as well, just
as some mothers need to be the father role also,
and this is only because of divorce or death of a parent.
It is the design of God for both mothers and fathers.
However, it is intended that they each have their own
role, while blending their gifts that the family knows
not only unity but similar aims that come from common
hopes. Nevertheless, if we were to advertise, we would
all insist on only top men (men
only) for the role of fathers for the
world’s children. This dose not mean that they need to
have means or good looks or be gifted leaders. These top
men this world needs are not human gods but God’s humans
– those who know Him and are open to His will.
Top men are those who fall to their knees in
prayer & rise to acclaim the Risen Christ
by faith. Top men have seen the bottom’s
failings & Yearn for the heights of joy for their
families. Top men are sinners saved grace,
who are not perfect but strive to be the best they can
be for God, their wives, children & themselves,
these men are committed to God.
Fathers who succeed implant in their children a love for
Christ and His Church. These top men have given their
son & daughters the Eternal Father
as the family’s supreme head. You have given them life
forever. Further more Fathers are not excused
from encouraging their little ones in faith and thereby
helping them meet the demands of life and the world.
Many of the nations we come from have been strengthened
by the commitment of simple families to the truth
of Scripture and the Joy of Jesus. It
takes many families of faith to build a strong nation
for God. It is not important what type of work fathers
and children do, but the importance is who they serve as
that affects what they do and how they live, and that
affects the whole nation and the entire world. It is
your family, my family, and other families like us that
must pass on THE GOOD NEWS OF CHRIST GOSPEL
to all the generations ahead. It requires top men
to handle this top role of spiritual nurturer to
the offspring of our nation. In closing remember before
you know it they’ll be gone, but what legacy will they
take with them? Your kids are like mirrors and reflect
what they see. It’s hard for them to see God as their
heavenly Father unless He’s clearly visible
in their earthly father. So “Take them by the
hand …lead them in the way of the Master.”
If you don’t – Who will? Dads its our job to bring
our children to the alter before our lord.
Let us on this Fathers Day, consider the whole realm of
the Christian family. Let us come to the altar to be
nurtured, so we may return to ensure that this
generation and all those ahead will have something more
than materialism to live for or sports titles to claim.
Let us show that life is full and purposeful,
ensured by the cross and encouraged by
Christ. Let us today give the gift of our
Heavenly Father.
LET US PRAY
Softly & tenderly Jesus
is calling, calling for you & me to come home. Will you
come home before it's to late? Will you say just as I am
Lord I come, make me & mold me in thane own way Lord, as
you are the potter I am the clay, make me Lord into what
you would have me to be? Will you say have thane own way
Lord have thane own way in me right now? Will you also
say Lord I wane be a Christian in a my heart, I come
Lord just as I am a sinner full of sin asking you to
have thane own way in my heart, I hear you standing at
the door of my heart knocking, & I am opening that door
right now & asking you in, as Christ died for you are
you willing to die for Him right now? Will you right now
before it's to late commit to serve The Lord Thy God?
Just say YES LORD I COME.
