WHO IS YOUR DADDY???
By Pastor Tim Hodge
1 Corinthians 4:15 (NKJV)
“For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.”
This week in Christian news, an article was released of a leader in a major ministry of worship and songwriting was renouncing his faith. For years, this man has written and performed songs in venues of thousands leading in worship to the One he now admits he does not believe in. To me, this was heartbreaking. How could a person lead in intimate worship atmospheres and now decide he doesn’t believe in God???
We have a serious dysfunction in the Christian culture of today. We have minions of church converts, but we are lacking in discipleship (the maturing of believers in their faith and relationship with God). I Firmly believe one of the major dysfunctions lies in the fact that people do not look to spiritual fathers and mothers to SPEAK INTO their lives.
Fathers and mothers, in the natural, do not just feed, nurture, and encourage their children. They CORRECT. Good parents address the hard matters of life with their kids. We need to distinguish who are ‘just voices’ that teach / preach / instruct us and WHO ARE REAL SPIRITUAL PARENTS (LEADERS) in our lives. We must hang on every word they speak to us.
If we do not have such relationships then one day, we too may likely wake up and say, “I do not believe in God anymore.” Find your spiritual father (s) and let him (them) speak into your life. It is a necessity.
