Malachi 4:1 “For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven, And all the proud,
yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn
them up,” Says the Lord of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor branch.
Malachi 4:2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
Malachi 4:3 You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles
of your feet On the day that I do this,” Says the Lord of hosts.

in Horeb for all Israel, With the statutes and judgments.
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the
great and dreadful day of the Lord.
Malachi 4:6 And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the
hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with
a curse.”
The Supreme court offered this justification and quoted a psychologist who stated:
“If portions of the New Testament were read without explanation, they could be and
had been psychologically harmful to the child.”
Sixty years ago, the top disciplinary problems in schools were:
Talking in class, chewing gum, making noises, running in the halls, cutting in line
That was then, this is now
Disrespect – students speak and act in a disrespectful way to adults and peers
including verbal abuse of teachers and faculty
Defiance – students openly refusing to listen to adults or follow directions.
Bullying – students consistently trying to intimidate others,
Widespread disorder in classroom, cyberbulling & school shooting possibilities.”

yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn
them up,” Says the Lord of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor branch.
Psalm 51:4 Against You, You only, have I sinned, …”

you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming,
when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.
Romans 2:6 He will judge everyone according to what they have done.
Malachi 4:1 “For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven,…
Psalm 21:9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger;
Isaiah 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble, the fire shall burn them;They shall
not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; It shall not be a coal to be
warmed by, nor a fire to sit before!

hosts, That will leave them neither root nor branch.

fear the Lord
Malachi 4:2 ” …my name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
John 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Acts 17:28 For in Him we live and move and have our being …”
John 1:5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light,
lest his deeds should be exposed.
John 3:21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly
seen, that they have been done in God.”

wings, …

great and dreadful day of the Lord.

Mark 2:4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered
the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on
which the paralytic was lying.
Mark 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins
are forgiven you.”
Didn’t someone believe for you before you believed?
Didn’t someone pray for us before we knew to pray for ourselves?
Every person’s salvation begins with the burden, interest and influence of another.

Malachi 1:6 “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am the Father,

Catergory #1. We Must Take The Good With The Bad.
Job 2:10 (NLT) Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never
anything bad?”
Catergory #2. Right Place, Right Time, Wrong Place, Wrong Time.

The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all.

Catergory #4. Don’t Worry, It’s None Of Your Business.
John 21:18 “I tell you the truth, when you were young, you were able to do as you
liked; you dressed yourself and went wherever you wanted to go.
But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will dress you and
take you where you don’t want to go.”
John 21:19 Jesus said this to let him know by what kind of death he would glorify
God. Then Jesus told him, “Follow me.”
John 21:20 Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved—
the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will
betray you?”
John 21:21 Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?”
John 21:22 Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to
you? As for you, follow me.
Catergory #5. God Is Not Obligated To Explain Himself To Us.

Psalm 139:4 You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save
He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become
children of God, to those who believe in His name:

man, but of God.

of God,

origin, ancestor, parent, predecessor, patriarch, progenitor, forebearer, procreator
Begetter, sire, source
So, how would you describe your father?
* Was he soft and gentle or harsh and demanding?
* Was he there for you when you needed him, or was he always on the go and
away from the home a lot of the time?
* Was he affectionate and demonstrative, or did he keep his distance?
* Was he emotionally transparent and easy to read, or was he Stoic and reserved,
keeping his feelings to himself?
* Was he an outdoorsman or a homebody?
* Did he read to you when you were little and play with you as you were growing up?
* Did he teach you to do things? What sort of practical skills did you learn from
your father?
* Was he a good listener? Could you share your thoughts and feelings with him
without getting a lecture in return?
* Was he a man of faith? Did he share his faith with you and help you to experience
the peace of God’s presence and the power of God’s love?
* Was he authoritative or easy going?
* Was he quick to discipline you and keep you in line, or did he give you freedom
to explore and make your own discoveries … your own decisions … and your own
mistakes?
* If you’re a son, was your father someone you wanted to be like when you grew up?
If you’re a daughter, was your father the type of man you hoped to marry some day?
* What did you love most about your father?

Knowing You will hear my plea
For You’ve adopted me

1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us.
God is love ..
Ephesians 3:17 (TLB) May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous
love;
Ephesians 3:18 and may you be able to feel and understand, as all God’s children
should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is;
Ephesians 3:19 and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great
that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. And so at last
you will be filled up with God himself.

principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
Romans 8:39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Pew reports that only 11 percent of American children lived apart from their
dads in 1960 which equates to 1 in every 10 children
Now an estimated 24.7 million children (33%) live absent of their biological father.

their biological father.
39 % of students, first through 12th grade, are fatherless.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau:
Only 68% of children will spend their entire childhood with an intact family.
That equates to 1 in every 3 children in the United States not having access
to their father.

it keeps no record of being wronged.

wins out.

even when I’m far away.

Matthew 5:6 “For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were
still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the
death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

They march to the unseen hazards
