A father’s job is to GUIDE his children into what God has for THEM to do, not do it for them. In other words, he should be their coach, and teach THEM how to win. Today on Grace Notes, our host Barbara Sandbek will share some thoughts on what it takes to be a good father.
This is the last program in our Christmas story presentation. We’ve seen that God chose people who were, young, old, lowly, elite, and even peculiar, to play the roles. The common thread was that they were willing and ready. The beauty of the Christmas story is not just that Jesus CAME to earth, but WHY He came. Listen and hear more…
Our topic in this series is ‘Thinking Right Thoughts’. Philippians 4 verse 8 is our text. It says..
Whatever is TRUE
whatever is NOBLE
whatever is RIGHT
whatever is PURE,
whatever is LOVELY,
whatever is ADMIRABLE;
If anything is excellent or praise worthy
THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS.
So far, we’ve found that God’s WORD is TRUE – it’s the standard to use in judging WHAT to think about. God’s WAY is NOBLE – it’s the method to use in EXERCISING God’s Word. And God’s WILL is RIGHT - It’s what we should follow to live out God’s word. On this program, Barbara Sandbek will define what PURE thinking is.
On our last program, Barbara Sandbek began a series on the Christmas Story. She talked about some of the players and their roles. We learned that God’s ways are not our ways and that He chooses people to do His work, based on Godly character, rather than on outward appearance or status in life. Today, Barbara will continue with the other players, and begin the reading of the Christmas story.
We hope you’ve enjoyed the Christmas Story these past few programs and that you’ve taken time to read it for yourself. On our last program, Barbara Sandbek told of the events that led up to the birth of Christ and described the surroundings in which the Savior of the world was born. Today, she will talk about the support players, and continue with the reading of the Christmas story.
We’ve all heard the saying ‘The mind is a terrible thing to waste’. We can waste our minds by thinking unproductive thoughts. Philippians 4:8, our main text for this series, says
Whatever is TRUE
whatever is NOBLE
whatever is RIGHT
whatever is PURE,
whatever is LOVELY,
whatever is ADMIRABLE;
If anything is excellent or praise-worthy
THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS.
On our program today, Barbara Sandbek will define what thinking is RIGHT.
