Dad's if you were unable to make the Dad's Prayer Breakfast organized by Craig Bardsley, you missed out on some great fellowship, a gripping challenge from Cary Shiner, good food and a wonderful time of meeting in our Lord's presence to lift up Maranatha.
Cary challenged the prioritization of our time. In our American world and culture, we are encouraged to look out for old number one. That includes the time when we get home from work and think, "I just need some down time", and we flip on the TV and veg out. As Cary reminded us, our families need us each and every day, and we need to be investing in them. Turn off the TV and make the investment. And once you turn off the TV don't let other things take its place, i.e. your smartphone. I was challenged. I think if the men of Maranatha would take up this challenge, we would radically change our families, our school and our community.
Any time you meet with men of like faith and interests before the Lord, it is an incredible encouragement. This pointed out to me that I need to get back with my small group and invest time regularly in prayer with them. Are you meeting in the presence of your Saviour with other believers on a regular basis?
