• Six Questions for father’s and men (Use as a prayer list)  

   

  (Adapted from sermon by Pastor Tom Johnson, New River, Red Wing, MN)                                             

   

  1.      Initiative – Do I give direction and take responsibility for myself and my family and for the relationships of my family?

   

  2.      Intimacy – Do I experience intimacy with God and others through being open?

   

  3.      Influence – Do I experience biblical intimacy in my family? Am I influencing my family for Christ?

   

  4.      Integrity – Do I lead an honest life, unashamed when I’m alone?

   

  5.      Identity – Am I secure in my relationship with Jesus?

   

  6.      Inner Character – Do I exhibit the fruits of the Spirit?

   

   

  Things to think about:

   

  Leave and cleave; your job after marriage is not to please your parents.

   

  Best manual on manhood: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John

   

  Forgive like Jesus forgave.

   

  When we pull up people’s sins of the past, we are acting like Satan who is the accuser of the brethren.

   

  Your wife needs to feel loved and secure. That’s your job as a husband.

   

  No woman who loves Jesus will be against a man who leads.

   

  Men are stronger when they lead; women are stronger when they follow.

   

  Ladies need security and need to know that their man will provide for them.

   

  Real men see what needs to be done and take the initiative to do it.

   

  Men learn to be men by hanging around other men.

   

  No man sins alone.

   

  Don’t ever stop growing. Don’t every stop serving.
