Who is your Father?

This past generation had an inordinate amount of single mothers raising children without a good father figure. The men were either "unknown", abusive or just plain lazy and lame. The result are boys who became young men without an idea what it means to be a man. The girls have learned that they can't trust a man and if they want something done to do it themselves. This does not sound like a big change from previous generations untill these children  begins to pro-create. Their struggle to relate to their children is so great it screams to the Heavens.

Sadly the same thing happened in the spiritual/Christian realm. The role of the leader/pastor of a congregation is to lead the people to have a relationship with God the Father. Instead of doing this job during the past 30 years, the pastors were busy building personality followings and fiefdoms for themselves. What came across most pulpits were second hand, watered down, political motivated speeches. Pet doctrines, yelling at other preachers in their absence or the government, correcting behaviour via sermons, or whatever irked them for the moment were served up to hungry people not knowing any better. And of course I am generalizing. The result is a Christian people who do not have a clue who this God is that they are supposedly serving. It is evident in the things coming out of their mouths, their behaviour and the lack of power in their attempts at ministry.

Jesus said that if you've seen me, you've seen the Father. I came to show you the Father. 

This is eternal life, to know God and Him whom He sent.

My dear friends, Isn't it about time that we get to know the Father?
