Galatians 4:6
 
Dad, Daddy, Pop, and Papa are all familiar names that fathers are given by their children.  Each one is special and coveys a close relationship.  In Galatians 4:6, Paul says believers have a very unique relationship with their heavenly Father.  The Holy Spirit calls out "Abba," and we too have that privilege as God's child if we have accepted Jesus as our Savior.  At the moment anyone turns from their sinful, selfish ways and receive Christ's offer of salvation, redemption happens.  The Father is there to guide, direct, and counsel His child if they but turn to Him.  Even more than our earthly father, our heavenly Father knows us and desires to see us grow and and mature in the faith daily.
On Sunday we celebrate Father's Day.  Give thanks for your earthly father and all he has done for you.  Express your gratitude with more than a shirt or tie.  (Do men even wear them anymore???)  Try writing a note expressing your love and thankfulness for him and his impact in your life.  If he's passed on, reflect back on memories of his lovingkindness shown to you and thank God for him.  Don't forget to spend a few moments meditating also on your heavenly Abba and His gift to us of salvation found through Jesus Christ.

Pray for the lost...

Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.  Romans 10:1

The Apostle Paul had a burden for his fellow countrymen.  He knew first hand the emptiness of a life without faith in Jesus.  He had previously risen in the ranks of the religious leaders of his day, scoffed at the followers of Christ, and persecuted them relentlessly.  He also recalled his life changing encounter on the Road to Damascus that brought about his salvation (Acts 9:3-5).  The difference in him was dramatic.  After meeting with the risen Lord, his hard heart was softened, and he longed for others to come to Jesus.  He recognized all sinners are in need of the Savior (Romans 3:23)

Paul's heart's desire for the lost, whether they be Jew or Gentile, was to come to a saving faith . It should be ours as well.  Who do you know personally that is far from the Lord?  See them as one who has been led astray and been taken captive by the world's allurements.  They are held in the bondage of sin. They may act as though they have their life together, but inside they are a mess.  It's good to know that God specializes in cleaning up our messiness.  

Be in prayer like Paul for your unsaved family members, friends, and foes.  Don't give up, but continue to be faithful in bringing them before the throne of grace and mercy for God to work in their life.  Be patient and persistent.  Hard hearts can still be softened by the Master's touch in ways you can't imagine, and then salvation comes to set them free from the grip of sin in their life. Hold fast to that truth and continue to be a consistent prayer warrior on their behalf.  Pray for the lost!

But as for you, man of God, shun all this; pursue justice, godliness, faithfulness, love, perseverance, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of everlasting life, to which you were called and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

– 1 Timothy 6:11-12

In the letter we now call 1 Timothy, the Apostle Paul is writing to his missionary apprentice, Timothy, a man probably in his early thirties, who was tasked with nurturing the nascent Ephesian Christian community into a healthy, mature congregation. Thus far in the letter, Paul has been giving Timothy specific instructions which he was to relay to the Ephesians for their communal edification: warnings against false teachers, requirements for church authorities, and provisional commands to the various constitutive social groups. However, in this passage, Paul turns his attention to Timothy’s personal life. As we have so painfully learned in the last few years, many male authority figures have been wise mentors, lucid communicators, and savvy administrators but have lacked the individual integrity that is absolutely central to effective leadership. Paul knew this well. Masculinity, when defined by worldly strictures rather than the Gospel, contained the same potential for toxicity and violence in his day as it does in ours. Men of every place and time, leaders and laity alike, need to heed Paul’s words. Paul calls Timothy a “man of God,” but what does that mean? We are constantly receiving information, explicit and implicit, as to what “man” should be: strong, intimidating, confident, handy, affluent, promiscuous, rowdy, raunchy, assertive, aggressive, domineering… Some of these are harmless, others are more pernicious, but according to Paul, none of them define the concept of a “man of God.” For Paul, a “man of God” is one who shuns worldly accolades and prizes. He is not acquisitive, brash, philandering, antagonistic, indulgent, or violent but instead pursues justice, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness. He does not fight with others, but wages war against his own sinful inclinations, his mind ever set on the prize which God has set before him: everlasting life.

How perfect that Timothy himself provides us with such an example of such a man. In Paul’s next letter to Timothy, he writes to him, “You, however, have closely followed my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faithfulness, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings…” Paul’s words would become even more true than he realized. Timothy spent the remainder of his life pastoring the Ephesian church, ultimately dying at his post as a martyr, as his Paul, his mentor, had before him. Timothy had no idea that these letters written to him would later become Christian scriptures, nor did he know his fame would extend throughout two millennia. His service was not for his own self-glorification or empowerment. He was simply diligently and humbly doing the work to which God had called him. His mission to the Ephesian church, which was likely supposed to be a short-term role, turned into the ministry to which he would dedicate the rest of his life – ever faithful to the people whom he nurtured from his youth. This is the fight of the man of God. Modest and loyal service to others in all circumstances – in the mundane and the extraordinary – eyes fixed on no other reward but the one which Jesus has procured for us. weddingphotoshouston offers a variety of Man of God Christian jewelry to display in your daily walk. Mens cross necklaces, Christian rings, Christian necklaces.
