Fathers, Don’t Delegate This 

“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”‭‭ –

Ephesians‬ ‭6:4‬ ‭NASB‬‬

This verse implies that fathers not disciplining & instructing children causes anger. 

Christian Fathers do not delegate by neglect “instructing in the Lord” to their   mothers and pastors … that is a mistake.

It feels like neglect to them, which is very painful and they will likely struggle relating to God if dad does not talk to them. Be sure to know exactly what they are being taught, correct it if necessary and teach them many things yourself.

Or if you can’t teach well at least show them what you are doing in life. Share your hopes and dreams and goals with them, that alone will instruct them.

Looking For Conspiracies

I believe that very many conspiracy theories are true, especially those involving govt or govt agencies. Especially if they involve stealing and killing.
But as sick and maddening and high up as conspiracies go, Christians are not to focus on them. We expose them when possible and we pray for truth to prevail but exposure of conspiracy is not a ministry from the Lord. It is a horrible and traumatizing thing to focus on the evil plans in place against us, it makes us live in fear and dread and isolation.

“Stealing, killing, destroying” is a summary statement from Jesus about  the general conspiracy set against us …always has been, that’s all we need to know.

The better focus for a Christian is what is Jesus doing today? 

I don’t care much what Satan is doing today,  I choose not to care. Compared to Jesus Christ he is like a mosquito trying to bite me as I go outside to garden. He is trying to suck life from me and inject disease, but I don’t focus on him, I swat him when I can but I fix my focus on my garden work.

We live within and around a humanity that God considers dead and going extinct.

But there is also a new humanity emerging in Jesus Christ, that we can be a part of. So now only He is to be our constant focus, aim and centrality, we get to make him Lord here and now by free-will surrender.

So relax, yes those evil plans are probably mostly true but Jesus is so much greater, so much more active and has so much better plans for us we can rest easy and be at peace just looking toward him.

God’s Focus and Aim

  • Our Heavenly Father
  • the Holy Spirit
  • the 10 Commandments
  • the prophets
  • many others 

All are aimed and are wholly focused and fixated on Jesus Christ. 

Why then would it be ok for his people to relentlessly focus on self development? 

It’s not ok, it’s a major mistake!

This self we spend countless hours trying to obediently develop, was actually killed on the cross as far as God is concerned. Jesus does not want this self ‘developed’ he wants it dead so that he can live his own life through us.
