Fatherhood

Jun 9–10, 2008 - comments: 1

The role of father is a high calling ordained by God. It is the picture He has given us in His word of the way that He relates to us and the way that we relate to him. Today the role of father is under attack not only from our culture but from the very enemy of our souls. Today’s guest tells us why this role is so crucial to the building up of strong leaders for the Kingdom of God.

Today our special guest is Tim Doyle, director of a parachurch ministry, known as The Joseph Resource Group, which specializes in ministering to men and their families. He joins us today to help us understand why fathers are so very important to the building up of strong men and women to lead the Church of Christ.

I so appreciated what Tim Doyle had to say about the importance of building up men for the kingdom of God. Men do have such a pivotal role in our society. Touch the man and you touch the family. Win the man and you benefit the entire family. Lose the man and the entire family is affected. Let’s all agree that we will work together to win the men, and thereby win the family for Christ and His kingdom.

I heard part of both of the interviews with Tim Doyle and I was very impressed that the church where I am a member needs to grab ahold of this vision.
A few years ago during our “40 days of Purpose” campaign an effort was made to start a men’s ministry, but nothing ever came of it.
The closest I am to being involved in a men’s minstry is a men’s prayer breakfast that meets each Friday in a local restaurant. I would love to see the church I attend have a Paul-Barnabus-Timothy ministry!
