*These are our Bibles! We are who it says we are! *
*We can do what it says we can do! The truest thing about us is what God says about us!*
And He says –
We are holy and without blame before Him!
We are chosen and precious in His sight!
And we are absolutely, positively free from all condemnation!
Psalm 11:3 (NKJ)

*The enemy’s ability to get fathers to abdicate their responsibility of what is produced in their homes has left disastrous results.*
*The issue being revealed in the Baltimore riots is not just racism and poverty but also fatherlessness.*

When dads are involved, their children learn more, perform better in school, & exhibit healthier behavior.
Even when fathers do not share a home with their children, their active involvement seems to have a lasting and positive impact.
EM Bounds:
While the church is looking for better “methods” God is looking for better “men”.
The Holy Spirit does not anoint “programs”, He anoints “people”.
John 1:6-8
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
