Courage Chino Valley

Always thankful for Ray and Tim's support, encouragement and music they faithfully present at the Men's Courage class. Will never be able to thank you both, enough!

Guys - We will meet next Monday, March 13 at 7:00 p.m. in room 522 at CCCV. Learn what James tells us regarding how we and our kids should treat others? Why should we care? What compass can our kids use throughout their life when they deal with people, regardless if the person is rich or poor? A person who is destitute or who owns a multi million dollar company? Can this knowledge affect our kids self confidence as they grow into adulthood?... We'll discuss it next Monday and I guarantee understanding the proper perspective will effect their entire life.

Greg Laurie posted this on his daily devotional today titled, "Never Give Up on Your Children" -- Harvest Daily Devotion for 2/1/2017. Thought you Dads (and Moms) out there might like it. Even when raised in godly homes, kids sometimes rebel. Sometimes children go astrayand parents feel like they somehow failed. My own sons had prodigal times in their lives. Both strayed from their faith for a time. But we never gave up on them. And both of them came back to Christ. ... Jesus told a story of a prodigal son. There was a dad who had two sons. The youngest son came to him and asked for his portion of the inheritance. It wasn't long until that boy had blown the family fortune on prostitutes, drunkenness, and all kinds of things. One day, the sonstarving to death, miserable, and brokemakes his way home. Jesus says the father saw the son and began to run toward him and threw his arms around him, saying, "This my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found" (see Luke 15:1124). Here is the point I want to bring up: this boy was raised in a loving home but he still rebelled. This can happen. If you have a child that goes prodigal, stay true to your beliefs. Hold your course. When my son Christopher was in his prodigal phase, he always knew I cared. I kept communication open even if he didn't communicate with me. He always knew I loved him. Maybe it is a hard day for you today. Maybe you haven't heard from your kids lately. Maybe you haven't talked to them for a while. They don't call. They don't want your faith and they don't want your life. But don't give upwe should never give up on our kids. Keep praying. Listen to this: your children can escape your presence but they can never escape your prayers. Keep praying for them.

It takes guts to be a Dad. Courage ministry is for fathers, grandfathers and men who have influence on growing children and desire that God's guiding hand be on both child and adult. Join us and learn what God says about choosing priorities in life. We'll meet on Monday, August 8/ 7:00 pm/ room 522.
