THE FUTURE
Here I am very early on a Sunday morning tweaking my message and service order for today. I was reading some responses from our website and was answering their questions, when it hit me so hard. God has been preparing me so much for the future.
1. Part of that preparation has been the moving up to an ambassadoral role in Church of the Heartland and watching Heath take what I birthed and maturing it into an awesome ministry with an awesome future.
2. I am realizing that there has been an endowment from heaven to enjoy, train and empower young people, including youth and children to be powerful Christians for their generations. I’m so excited for their generation.
3. I have such a desire to be an available father to those especially under 40. Fatherhood is missing in many of these young children and adults. God shows us true fatherhood and we should embrace it. We must become mothers and fathers to the young.
4. Why do I like texting, Facebook and websights. The answer; I like connecting to those who have stuff happening. And for now the happening is in the youth of our country.
Don’t look at CNN, CBS or Fox to bring you what is happening in this world. Read you Bibles and let the Holy spirit, the most awesome teacher, tell you the news. The news is that God is setting up generations to come that will know how to minister to a messed up world.

Arise, cry out in the night,
as the watches of the night begin;
pour out your heart like water
in the presence of the Lord.
Lift up your hands to him
for the lives of your children,
who faint from hunger
at the head of every street.

Thanks for the input Liz. I love that “for the love of our children” part. I can only imagine what you and your generation will accomplish for God. I love the youth around me. Keep up the good work.
