The Discipline of a Disciple
To be a true disciple of Christ or to be a Christian, which means Christ-like, your life should be a witness to others of God's love and grace. It's a conscious effort we all have to make and renew daily! None of us are perfect but we strive to achieve Christ's example!
"For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." ~ Titus 2:11-14
"His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." ~ 2 Peter 1:3-8

Happy Father's day
We all have a father who
loves us more than
anything in the world
or beyond!
God!
"We have a heavenly Father above
with eyes full of mercy
and a heart full of love...
He really cares
when your head
is bowed low...
consider the lilies
and then you will know!"
The best example
of a good father
is our loving God!
The best example of
a loving God
is a godly father!
