Hope Presbyterian Church In Winston-salem Sermons

Series: Words of LifeScripture: Exodus 20:12, Ephesians 6:1-4 “… [In] writing some thoughts about a father … I feel as though I’m    writing a book about a troll under a bridge or a dragon. For me, a father was nothing more than a character in a fairy tale. … The sad thing is, as a kid, I wondered why I couldn’t have a dragon, but I never wondered why I didn’t have a father.” —Donald Miller, Father Fiction “Today I wonder why it is God refers to Himself as ‘Father’ at all. This, to me, in light of the earthly representation of the role, seems a marketing mistake. Why would God want to call Himself Father when so many fathers abandon their children?” —Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz “Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.” —Brennan Manning, Abba’s Child The post Parented by God first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
