This is a thought-provoking video for any father, but particularly for a Christian father who might need to be reminded that his actions speak volumes about his relationship with Jesus. The little boy in the video notes: "I'm watching you, Dad. Every day you're teaching me how to live, whether you like it or not. I'm watching to see if you really believe what you say about God." May all fathers take seriously the awesome responsibility of parenting.

God gives free will, honors our choices
I'm not sure of the origin of this observation, but I appreciate its simple message: "There are some things only God can do, and some things only I can do. Only God can save a person. Only God can forgive and forget our sins. Only God can change the human heart. But at the same time, only I can believe. Only I can repent. Only I can follow. God will not do those things for me, as He has given me a free will to choose."
The Bible tells us that it is God's desire that ALL be saved, and that He makes Himself known to all. Ultimately, however, each of us must make a choice regarding eternity: we must choose to accept His grace -- to surrender our silly concept of "control" -- or we must choose separation from Him.
Jesus said in Revelation 1:17:
"Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades."
Choose life. Choose Jesus Christ.

The ultimate priority
http://www.myfamilytalk.com/
Dr. James Dobson's "Family Talk" ministry is currently focusing on the joys and challenges of parenting. Specifically, Dobson will discuss and provide practical advice for pursuing "the ultimate parental priority" – introducing our children to Jesus Christ, and teaching them His precepts and principles. Whether you aspire to have children, are shepherding kids at any stage of development today, or guiding youth through example and leadership, all adults influence the next generation of leaders. Parental figures and extended family members bear the awesome responsibility and opportunity to point them toward Christ.
