Inspiration for Today's Church from the Desk of Tim Barker

Mighty Men of Courage From the Bible

Courage. Where do we find it when we need it? 

In this book, we will look at Joseph who was sold into slavery, Daniel who faced the lion’s den, Peter walking on the water, even Abraham who saw few of the promises of God during his lifetime. Moses lived for four decades in disgrace, an apparent failure.

Elijah hid in the desert with the ravens for three years.

Paul was arrested for his faith and thrown in prison. Repeatedly.

Yet today we recognize these men as courageous examples of faith in God. The difference is that they took a stand for God, looked beyond their personal circumstances and in faith allowed the hand of God to lead them.

Each of these saints became a powerhouse for God, and we revere them today.

Today is your day to become the Child of God and the man or woman Christ intends you to be.

It’s time to see the world through His eyes.

Christ is calling. I want to answer. 

Join me today, won’t you? 

A Message from the Desk of Tim Barker: 

As the District Superintendent for the South Texas District of the Assemblies of God, I see sharing the Gospel as my God-directed mission.

When I consider the teachings of the Word, I want everyone to experience the courage that can flow from trusting in God. It will change your walk with the Lord.

Join me in trusting Jesus. Your journey to eternity with God can begin now. Open your heart to Jesus and invite Him in.

Tim R. Barker, D. Min.

Fathermore

By son, father, and pastor James Polnick:

Fathermore

Becoming the Man God Intended Me to Be 

A father’s role is vital for his children.

When that bond is missing, it is difficult for a child to connect to God’s unconditional love. This book is about how God became my Heavenly Father by placing men in my life to teach me how to become a man, husband and father by the lives they led.

This is my journey of becoming God’s son and the man He intended for me to be.

If you grew up fatherless, my prayer is that you will allow God the Father to reveal Himself to you and take any hurt and emptiness away.

My hope is that you will identify the men and women God places in your path to help you learn how to become the person He designed you to be. Instead of feeling fatherless, may you realize that you too are FATHERMORE, as you celebrate God’s goodness and the other fathers He places in your life to fill any earthy void.

May you, as the reader, see the value in mentoring others and find God as Father and learn about Him from your own example.

— James Polnick
