10 Questions to Ask Your Father
The Lord’s fundamental identity is to be a Father. He wants us to draw close to Him as spiritual sons. He also encourages our relationship with our natural fathers, when possible. He pours grace into our relationship with a spiritual father, as well.
Here is a conversation-starter for you and your Dad, whether you choose to converse with your natural father or your spiritual father.

About My Dad
- Describe your relationship with your own father.
- Who have you admired most in your life?
- Who do you credit the most for training you in your trade/profession?
- What accomplishments have you achieved that you’ve never really spoke of?

- Am I oblivious to anything? Where do you believe I am at risk?
- What do you believe I am slated to accomplish?
- What should I know about fatherhood?

Why do some non-believers feel the need to ridicule religious people?
While not claiming to speak for all non-believers (although I used to be one), I believe that many such people are actually searching for deep truths. They are continuously and severely disappointed by “religious” people who repetitively quote banal phrases while claiming to have profound beliefs. In other words, there
What is the point of believing in God, when I can just live a good life and then be forgiven for not believing when I get to heaven?
My friend, you’ve got the sequence and the logic a little off. The Creator God has a plan; He is intentional and strategic. Here’s the backstory. God created this universe as a 3-dimensional colony of heaven, His Kingdom’s headquarters. He formed man’s body from the newly created place, Earth, but
Adam’s Five Assignments
The second chapter of Genesis describes how the Lord designed Adam and gave him five strategic assignments — all before Eve was even created. These conditions apply to men even today, in modern times. This instructive passage reads:
