Throughout human history, there has been more friction between people over finances than any other thing. The reason is because many people try and invest in a relationship with God while also investing in some kind of lucrative endeavor. The problem is, sometimes there is more time, energy, and attention given to growing physical wealth than there is to growing our spiritual health. If we are not careful, we will find ourselves more dedicated to the temporal things of this earth rather than the eternal things of heaven. Pay attention to what gets the bulk of your passion each day. If it something that does not have eternal value, it is time for a change.

Men, as the leaders of our homes, we are morally responsible before God for how we lead our home. As fathers, we need to embrace this role as leader with a desire to produce Christlike children by the grace of God. Our leadership role includes being role models, having a plan and a strategy, setting direction, and taking initiative.

Men, as the priests of our homes, we are responsible before God for how we lead our home spiritually. Declaring faith in God alone, having personal devotion, having the Word of God inside of us, impressing God’s Word on our children, having informal spiritual conversations with our children, and practicing our personal Word-centered devotion to God in all of life, will yield untold blessings for our families, our church, our communities, our nation, and our world.

Fathers, it is our responsibility to sow God’s Word into the lives of our kids now. We do this informally, and we do this formally. We do it at times where there is success and at times where there is failure. And remember dads, we are educators and teachers, and our responsibility is to transfer Godly wisdom to the next generation.

Fathers, it is our responsibility to love our children and give them what they need most, provision and protection. When you really think about love, that’s what it is, provision and protection. Fathers were designed by our Heavenly Father to provide material, spiritual, emotional, and relational provision.

When it comes to racism, the only lasting solution is the power and work of God through Jesus Christ, our common denominator. When we are secure in our identity in Christ, resting fully in his forgiveness and his love, racism has no place to gain a foothold in our lives. Let’s examine our hearts, love others with compassion, and not be afraid to be vulnerable.

Political entities are not the savior of the world. The salvation for all mankind has been manifested in Jesus Christ. God knew that our world needed saving long before any national government was ever founded. He demonstrated to the world that redemption could not be accomplished through the power of man, economic strength, military might, or politics. Only lasting peace, contentment, hope, and joy—and the salvation of mankind—are provided through Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Jesus often found himself clashing with the religious leaders of his day. They were often so committed to their position concerning the law, that they failed to see their legalism. They forgot the heart behind God’s instruction and became religious oppressors. Jesus, however, did not come into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world. By fulfilling the law, he ushered in an era of grace, and invites us to join him in loving relationship.

God chose Jonah to be His bearer of grace to a people that most believed did not deserve it. Jonah looked for every reason to go in the opposite direction. But before we are too hard on Jonah’s reluctance, we need to look at our own reluctance to share the love of God with people we see as dangerous or deserving of judgment. Are we too quick to find our own "ticket to Tarshish?" Where Jonah was unwilling, God was willing. Oftentimes, we confuse the God we want with the God who is. When God calls us to do His work, it often is not easy, but it is worth it.

Jonah found himself in need of salvation as he was in the perils of the ocean. God, in His mercy, sent a huge fish to swallow Jonah and keep him safe within its belly for three days and three nights. It was inside of the fish that Jonah recognized God was his only means of rescue. Without God, Jonah was doomed. Though he understood that God had rescued him, it did not translate to a sense remorse for his failing to go to the Ninevites, only gratitude for his personal fortune. Eventually, the fish vomited Jonah onto dry land, which gave him a chance to respond correctly to God’s initial command. God is a God of second, third, and fourth chances—not just for Jonah and the Israelites but for everyone. The same opportunity for repentance and redirection is available to us all.
