Quality vs. Quantity

Hey Dads! Happy Fathers Day!


If you are looking for ways to spend time with your kids check out the link below. 


Remember, you can't have QUALITY time without QUANTITY time! When you spend QUANTITY time with your children chances are you will be there for those QUALITY moments. Are you doing that? Is your family your number one ministry? It needs to be! It is the first ministry that God has entrusted you with. That is where you need to be spending the bulk of your time. Building a relationship with your children. I recently heard Josh McDowell say in a sermon, RULES without RELATIONSHIP equals REBELLION. Wow!


Do you want to be a good Dad? The best thing that you can do as a Dad is love God, love your wife and love your children. Make your relationship with all 3 your top priority!

Family Man's Creed

I was cleaning out my garage today and came across this card with the Family Man's Creed on it. Definitely a good find!  It's a good check up for us all. 

The Family Man's Creed

With God's help I will do my best to:

PRAISE AND HONOR GOD DAILY

in my thoughts, my words, and my deeds, thus establishing the foundation for my success as a family man.

HONOR AND RESPECT MY WIFE

by loving her as Christ loves His church, and faithfully demonstrating my lifelong commitment to providing for her needs.

SPIRITUALLY PROTECT MY FAMILY

by constantly interceding in prayer for their needs, establishing the word of God as our home's final authority, and boldly declaring that "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

EMOTIONALLY PROTECT MY FAMILY

by speaking words of blessings and encouragement, spending lots of quality time together, and remembering to be slow to anger and quick to extend mercy.

PHYSICALLY PROTECT MY FAMILY

through hard work, preparedness and diligence, understanding that my call as a family man requires daily sacrifices.

BE FAITHFUL TO MY FAMILY

by ensuring regular weekly church attendance and faithful giving of my time and resources, in addition to maintaining relationships with other Christian men for edification and accountability.

ASK THE LORD FOR WISDOM

and His empowerment that I may walk in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control.
