Pillars of Promises for the Child of God Geoffrey R. Kirkland Christ Fellowship Bible Church  (St Louis, MO) In times of deep dark despair, don’t listen to yourself & your doubts; rather, speak biblical truth &  anchor your trust in God’s promises! What are some *GO TO* Promises that you can cling to?   1. Rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven (Luke 10.20) 2. Don’t be troubled; Christ prepares a place for you & will come to receive you to be with Him (John 14.1-3) 3. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; do not let your heart be troubled; nor let it be fearful (John 14.27) 4. Whoever will call on the name of the Lord WILL be saved (Rom 10.13) 5.

The Blessed Gift & Duty of Godly Fathers Geoffrey R. Kirkland Godly fathers are gifts from the Lord. I thank the Lord for my father, a man of God, who early on for me modeled holiness, church involvement, integrity of character both inside and outside the home, and hard work. My father has taught me -- and still is teaching me -- much about faithfulness, endurance, perseverance, sobermindedness, and trust in the Lord. Godly fathers are blessed gifts to families and these fathers also have an unspeakably important duty from the Lord. I’ll just list four duties of godly fathers. Lead. Fathers must lead. They must lead in the home. They must lead as men who do not forcefully or authoritatively demand submission or things to be done their way.

In fact, the best way to lead is by following.

A recent wave of writings and audios has come with a force from folks who claim to be both at the same time homosexuals and Christians. Or, to use their vernacular, "Gay-Christians." They claim to be celibate gay-Christians, in that they don't act out on their sinful desires. Writings also come from those who may be tolerant of such perspectives. Can this really be the case?

[ We quickly realize that homosexuality, SSA, and the like is not the only or the ultimate or the unforgivable sin. The Word of God places the sin of homosexuality alongside of many other sins that condemn sinners. We are all guilty. This isn't a matter of pointing fingers at *those* people caught up in this. Rather, the point is to speak Truth to believers and to equip them with God's Word so that they can res
