PITY THE FOOL
Editorial by Nathan S. Whitley
The book of Proverbs is saturated with warnings about the fool. The words fool, fools, and foolish appear at least sixty-nine times, but the theme itself shows up in well over one hundred places. While Proverbs is known for its invitation to wisdom, it also serves as a firm warning against becoming a fool. The contrast is deliberate. The pursuit of wisdom includes not only learning what is right but also learning what to reject.
Wisdom is not simply about gaining knowledge or collecting information. Biblical wisdom is applied truth. It is knowing what is right and doing it. The fool, however, has no interest in either. He does not seek truth, and therefore, he has no desire to live by it.
In Hebrew, the word for fool can refer to someone stubborn and thick-headed. A fool is not merely someone who lacks intelligence but someone who resists instruction. He is hardened against correction and slow to learn. The Bible outlines several characteristics of a fool.
The fool is a skeptic. “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God’” (Psalm 14:1). This verse regarding the fool is not located within the Book of Proverbs; instead, it is found in the Book of Psalms. It exposes the root of foolishness: a denial of God. This skepticism is commonly taught in secular schools and universities, making it essential for Christians to be prepared to defend the truth (1 Peter 3:15). The fool denies God’s existence not out of lack of evidence but out of stubbornness and pride.
The fool has no fear of God. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7). Without a healthy fear of the Lord, wisdom cannot begin. The fool not only disregards God but also despises instruction. He sees no value in reverence or correction and, therefore, remains in ignorance.
The fool is always right. “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice” (Proverbs 12:15). The wise person welcomes counsel. The fool, by contrast, is self-assured and
dismissive. He doesn’t ask questions because he’s already convinced he knows everything. He resents correction and lives in the illusion of his own superiority.
The fool is reckless and careless. “One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless” (Proverbs 14:16). Wisdom looks ahead and considers the consequences of a decision. Foolishness acts impulsively and flirts with danger. The wise Christian seeks to avoid temptation. The fool runs headlong into it.
The fool is unteachable. “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion” (Proverbs 18:2). The fool doesn’t care to grow. He listens only long enough to speak his mind. Likewise, a Christian who doesn’t love the Word of God, who is easily distracted during preaching, and who neglects personal study will struggle spiritually and stagnate in foolishness.
The fool speaks foolishly. “The heart of fools proclaims folly” (Proverbs 12:23b). Because the fool has nothing of substance to say, his words reflect the emptiness of his heart. He values his own opinion and believes his voice deserves to be heard, even when it brings no benefit.
The fool returns to his sin. “Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly” (Proverbs 26:11). This striking image reminds us of the grotesque cycle of unrepented sin. The fool goes back to what previously made him sick. A Christian who refuses to forsake sin will find himself wallowing in the same shame and guilt. God’s grace teaches us to say no to ungodliness (Titus 2:12), not to excuse it.
The fool lacks self-control. A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated”
(Proverbs 14:17). Self-control is not a suggestion; it is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:23). To lose your temper easily is not a sign of strength but of immaturity. The writer of Proverbs says a person without self-control is like a city without walls— vulnerable and exposed (25:28).
The fool is contentious. “A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating” (Proverbs 18:6). The fool loves to argue. They thrive on conflict. People who lack discipline over their tongue will eventually find themselves in trouble. Wisdom teaches us to speak thoughtfully, to avoid unnecessary conflict, and to strive for peace.
The fool mocks sin. “Fools make a mock at sin” (Proverbs 14:9). This is a sobering reality. The fool laughs at what should cause grief. He scorns what is holy and treats sin as entertainment. Many today mock the church, belittle the Bible, and treat Christianity as a burden. Proverbs warns that those who mock now will one day be mocked by God in their calamity (1:24–26).
Scripture provides us with these warnings not to shame us but to guide us. Proverbs does not romanticize foolishness. It lays it bare and calls us to choose a better path. For the believer, the goal is not simply to grow wise but to put off every trace of foolishness.
Read the book of Proverbs regularly. Let it teach you what wisdom looks like—and what foolishness truly is.
Nathan S. Whitley General Editor
In a world swept along by the relentless currents of shifting opinions, fleeting trends, and a culture that celebrates subjective truths, the call to anchor our families in the steadfast, unchanging Word of God has never been more vital. As followers of Christ, we are entrusted with the sacred task of establishing a spiritual landmark—a clear, unshakable boundary that defines what belongs to us, what lies beyond our claim, and, above all, what is devoted to God. Drawing on the timeless wisdom of Deuteronomy 19:14, Deuteronomy 27:17, Proverbs 22:28, Proverbs 23:10, and Job 24:2, I want to paint a picture of how we can root our homes and churches in the solid foundation of Scripture, creating a legacy of faith that endures for generations and shines as a beacon in a wayward world.
THE FOUNDATION OF FAITHFULNESS
At the heart of a life that honors God lies a simple but profound principle: faithfulness begins with contentment, and contentment is born from valuing what truly matters. You cannot remain devoted to something you don’t cherish, and you’ll never find true satisfaction in what you don’t hold dear. For Christians, this means placing God and His Word above all else—above the noise of the world, above the pursuit of wealth or status, above the ever-changing standards of society. When we stand firm and declare, “I value God and His Word, and I find my peace and purpose in them,” we are laying down a foundation for our lives and our families that can withstand the fiercest storms of a culture adrift.
This commitment isn’t just about our own walk with God—it’s about passing the torch to the next generation. As parents, we pour our hearts into providing for our children, whether it’s the best schools, the latest gadgets, or opportunities to chase their dreams. But if we fail to give them the greatest gift of all—the truth of God’s Word—we’ve missed the mark. The Bible must be the heartbeat of our homes, a
living landmark that ties our families to God’s eternal promises. When we open the Scriptures, whether at the dinner table or in quiet moments of prayer, it should stir a deep connection, reminding us, “This is for my family. This is the legacy I’m building.” It’s about ensuring our children grow up knowing that God’s Word isn’t just a book—it’s the guide that will lead them through life’s uncertainties.
THE MEANING OF LANDMARKS
In the days of the Old Testament, landmarks were far more than stones marking the edges of a field; they were sacred symbols of God’s order and provision. They declared what was yours, what belonged to someone else, and, most importantly, what was set apart for God. Every time an Israelite looked at a landmark, it was a reminder of their place in God’s plan and His ultimate authority over all things. This truth runs like a thread through Scripture, from God’s covenant with Abram in Genesis, where He promised land as the foundation for His chosen people, to the ongoing struggles over territory we see in places like the Middle East today. These conflicts show us that land—and the boundaries that define it—carry deep spiritual weight.
For the church, or “Spiritual Israel,” this principle takes on even greater meaning. Through Christ, we’ve been grafted into God’s covenant, but that privilege comes with a calling. We’re not just a gathering of people; we’re a community built on Jesus Christ, our Rock, the foundation that never shifts. If we let go of the Bible as our guide, we risk becoming just another social club, not the church God intended. The world is always nudging us to soften our stance, to move the landmark a little to fit in with its values. But we can’t give in. “Truth is the culture of the Church,” I believe, and Jesus, the True Vine, is the source of our life and strength. Those who stay rooted in Him grow strong, bearing fruit that glorifies God. But those who chase
after false ideas—counterfeit vines—end up with lives that are warped and unfulfilled.
THE BATTLE FOR TRUTH
We live in a time that echoes Pontius Pilate’s question, “What is truth?” as if truth is something we each get to define for ourselves. The culture around us celebrates this idea, pushing the notion that everyone’s “truth” is equally valid. But as Christians, we know there’s only one Truth— Jesus Christ Himself. The church can’t afford to bend that truth to make the world comfortable.
Being a kind person or living a moral life isn’t enough; true faith means trusting in The Truth, the One who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The world might be fine with chaos, excusing sin or brushing it aside, but God’s people are called to a higher standard. The Word of God never twists or distorts anyone—it’s sin that does that, leaving brokenness in its wake.
This is a real battle, and it’s not just out there in the world—it’s in our hearts, our homes, and our churches. The pressure to compromise can be subtle, like a whisper that says, “Just go along to get along.” But we’ve got to hold the line, showing the world that God’s Word is the anchor that keeps us steady. It’s not about pointing fingers or judging others; it’s about living in a way that points to Jesus, the One who transforms lives and offers hope to a world that’s searching.
A CHARGE TO PARENTS AND THE CHURCH
Parents, God has placed you in your home to be a landmark for your children, a steady guide to lead them to the truth of His Word. This isn’t something you can pass off or treat lightly—it’s a sacred responsibility. You’re called to show your kids what it means to stand on The Rock, Jesus Christ, so they grow up with a faith that’s real and resilient. It’s about more than just reading Bible stories; it’s about living out God’s truth
every day, in the way you love, forgive, and make tough choices. Make sure your children know the Scriptures as the foundation for their lives, a compass to guide them through a world full of confusion.
The church has a role to play, too. We’re called to be a rock-solid community, built on the foundation of Christ, a place where “the gates of Hell won’t stand a chance.” If you’re wondering where you belong, the answer is simple: open your Bible and find a church that’s true to God’s Word. We’re not here to blend in with the culture or chase its approval. We’re here to be a light, a family of faith that lives out the truth with courage and love. The church should be a place where people can come, broken and searching, and find the Truth that sets them free.
A PEOPLE SET APART
Even in a world that’s lost its way, God is still calling out a people who will break free from the chains of sin and the pull of the culture. These are people who are hungry for His truth, who long for something real and lasting. The question for each of us is clear and urgent: “Are you with Jesus, or are you against Him?” This isn’t about being a good neighbor or checking off moral boxes—it’s about a life completely changed by the Truth of Christ. As we raise our children, strengthen our churches, and live out our faith, we’ve got to hold tight to the landmarks God has set. We need to make sure our families, our communities, and the legacy we leave behind are firmly anchored in His Word.
In a world that’s constantly trying to move the Rock, let’s stand firm, proclaiming with all our hearts: Jesus Christ is the Truth, the Rock, and the foundation of everything we believe. Let’s build our families on this landmark, because it’s the only thing that will hold strong through the trials of life and the tests of time. Let’s be a people set apart, living for God’s glory and showing the world what it means to stand on the solid ground of His Word. AW
Throughout my lifetime, I have witnessed many things—some I wish I could forget and others I pray I never will. Moments so profound that they etch themselves into your soul, shaping how you see life, faith, and the next generation.
Two pictures captured something I will never forget—something I hope to pass on to my children and those who come after me.
A KNEELING GENERATION
During COVID, Bishop Rhinehart was unable to attend worship services. But when the time finally came for his return, he didn’t rush inside. He didn’t take it for granted. Instead, before stepping into the sanctuary, despite his age and physical limitations, he knelt in the parking lot and thanked God that he was able to return to His house.
His son, my dear friend Pastor Wylie Rhinehart, sent me a picture of that moment. And when I saw it, I saw more than just one man kneeling—I saw a generation standing. I saw my grandfather’s generation. I saw men like T.R. Foster and Jack Chessor—men who had an unshakable, unwavering appreciation for the house of God.
It is understandable when sinners choose not to attend church, but when those who call themselves Christians neglect it, it is incomprehensible.
I recently read these statistics on church attendance from ages 1-18:
• Attend church every Sunday → 936 Sundays
• Miss one Sunday per month → 720 Sundays
• Miss two Sundays per month → 468 Sundays
• Attend one Sunday per month → 216 Sundays
• Easter, Christmas & Mother’s Day only → 54 Sundays
For so many today, assembling is no longer a priority. Worshiping with fellow believers has become optional. We live in a day when people view attendance as an accessory rather than an anchor.
Let those numbers sink in.
If a child is raised in a home where missing church is normal, by the time they reach adulthood, they have lost out on hundreds of opportunities to be shaped by the presence of God.
As Leonard Ravenhill once said:
“A man who is intimate with God will never be intimidated by man.”
But the opposite is also true. The world will always dominate a man who is distant from God.
Bishop Rhinehart was a man of faithfulness, integrity, and influence. His unwavering commitment to worship had a profound and lasting impact on generations. That commitment would empower future generations that Bishop would never meet.
His faithfulness was not just a personal discipline— it was a legacy. Nearly his entire family now serves in the Kingdom of God because he had an anchordown commitment. Bishop and Sister Rhinehart were first-generation Apostolic. Because of his faithfulness, the fourth generation of the Rhinehart family is involved in ministry.
That faithfulness continues today, including in the life of his son, Pastor John Rhinehart, who is also my friend.
A STANDING GENERATION
Please allow me to tell you about the second picture.
This picture was taken by John’s sister, Regina, in what was undoubtedly one of the most difficult moments of their lives. They were saying their final goodbyes and celebrating the life of their 18-year-old daughter, Makell.
A generation that walks in strength, endurance, patience, faithfulness, and humility teaches the next generation what to value. We know what people value by where they invest their time, effort, and heart.
When you are committed to being faithful to the house of God, it tells a story.
Why? What is the value?
I was there that day. I had the honor of speaking at the funeral service.
When I saw the picture of John and Melisa standing on their feet with hands lifted in worship, my mind instantly went back to the image of Bishop Rhinehart on his knees near that curb, giving thanks to God. And these words came to me:
One generation kneels so another can stand. Let me explain.
Why was their commitment so unshakable that the tragic loss of their daughter could not and would not prevent them from gathering?
Because this generation clearly understands that we are the beneficiaries of the generation that came before us, kneeling in solidarity.
My words are insufficient, but let me continue.
What I witnessed in my friend and his family that day was this:
• In the most trying battle of their lives, they knew where to place their trust. They knew how to stand and where to stand.
• They didn’t seek a break from the church.
• They didn’t pull away.
• They needed the church more than ever.
Because there is something about the house of God—something about the presence of God among
“ It is in moments like these that we lay ourselves bare before the sovereignty of God, trusting in a plan we do not understand. Believing in a God who knows best, even when we don’t."
His people—that strengthens the weary and lifts the broken. It’s not just about going to church. It’s about being anchored.
The Bible tells us:
“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” (Psalm 126:5-6, KJV)
There is a reward in worshiping faithfully. There is a reward in living faithfully.
Sis. Melisa Rhinehart once shared how she stood on her Bible in prayer as the late anointed Sis. McGruder instructed, believing for a child. And God made a way. Nine months later, Makell Rhinehart was born. Eighteen years later, the gift would be tragically taken away. Echoing the words of Job, “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away.”
One generation kneels. Another stands. They stand on the Word. They stand on their feet. They stand in worship. They stand in faith.
This is not a show. This is not shallow.
This is an anchor-down mentality that declares:
Worship—faithful worship—is always the correct response. Faithfulness in the Hardest Times I hope this is making sense. Today, my heart is heavy.
A dear friend at Victory Church in New Castle tragically lost his wife. Bro. Wes Thornburgh and his three daughters are now grieving an immense loss. Michelle Thornburgh was taken from us too soon.
It is in moments like these that we lay ourselves bare before the sovereignty of God, trusting in a plan we do not understand. Believing in a God who knows best, even when we don’t.
The Bible says:
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1, KJV)
Please continue to pray for the Thornburgh family. Bro. Wes and his children will need much prayer in the days ahead.
And may we all be reminded:
One generation kneels so another can stand.
But standing does not mean rising in our own strength. It means standing submitted to God. Standing on the foundation of faith. Standing in the presence of God. Standing in worship—no matter what comes. Lord, help us never to forget.

YOU MIGHT HAVE THE HEART OF A CHURCH PLANTER
by Stephen Trachsel
The Missions America department is excited to announce our collaboration with several new pastors through our Adopt A City program. These dedicated individuals have answered the call to plant churches in our local communities. As we know, the harvest is plentiful, and we are eager to partner with those who are passionate about doing more for God.
If you feel a prompting in your spirit but are unsure of your direction, we have created a list to help clarify if home missions work is right for you.
The Top 10 List of “You Might Have the Heart of a Church Planter.”
1. If your car is filled with Bible study charts, church tracts, and a portable sound system, you might have the heart of a church planter.
2. If you talk to every farmer, mechanic, or business owner you know about Jesus, you might have the heart of a church planter.
3. If you want to play the keyboard, lead the choir, and be part of the choir while also serving as emcee and preacher simultaneously, you may have the heart of a church planter.
4. If multitasking energizes you and you can manage a full-time career while preaching a couple of times a week, you might have the heart of a church planter.
5. If you feel excited about creating new things from scratch rather than managing existing ones, you may have the heart of a church planter.
6. If you are comfortable with uncertainty and willing to take Spirit-led risks, you might have the heart of a church planter.
7. If you include “Skilled at moving chairs” on your resume, you might have the heart of a church planter.
8. If your wife has prohibited you from saying, “You know what this neighborhood needs” at dinner, you might have the heart of a church planter.
9. If you constantly seek a new ministry role to fill, even if it involves your child’s homework, you may have the heart of a church planter.
10. If you drive through a particular city and feel sorrow for its lost souls, you may have the heart of a church planter.
The Missions America Department is eager to collaborate with anyone interested in planting a church today. You don’t have to walk this journey alone; you might be our next AAC Pastor.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is the Build-a-Church Initiative?
A: One of the most significant resources for an overseas local ALJC congregation is having its own physical church building – one that is weatherproof, comfortable, appropriately sized, has running water and bathrooms, and presents a positive appearance in the community. Such a building in an ALJC mission field becomes the epicenter of that congregation’s entire ministry in the community. It becomes their place of worship, preaching, discipleship, youth activities, community outreach, humanitarian aid distribution center, Bible training location, and often the residence of the pastor.
While we understand that the “church” is not a building but a community of people, the church building – particularly in overseas fields – is an indispensable part of that congregation’s impact.
The Build-a-Church Initiative is a program of the ALJC World Missions Department that partners U.S. churches with overseas ALJC congregations in need of a church building. The U.S. church becomes a sponsor to the overseas congregation, raises funds, and sends them through the World Missions Department to the congregation in the field. The congregation in the field uses those funds to construct a church building in their community that meets a universal ALJC standard. The sponsoring U.S. church is updated regularly on the progress of the church building project through pictures, videos, and written reports, which can all be shared with the sponsoring congregation. Upon completion of the building, a delegation from the sponsoring church has the opportunity to participate in the dedication of the new church building in the field.
Most of our overseas ALJC congregations are in thirdworld countries where finances are so scarce that it would take a congregation decades to accumulate enough money to build a church building like the Build-a-Church Initiative seeks to construct. U.S. churches sponsoring a congregation in the field will move that overseas congregation decades forward. The Build-a-Church Initiative has the potential to dramatically impact ALJC mission fields for years to come by constructing church buildings around the world.
Q: What U.S. Churches Can Partner with an Overseas ALJC Church to Build a Church Building?
A: Any ALJC church willing to raise the necessary funds can participate in this initiative.
Q: What Overseas ALJC Churches Qualify for the Build-a-Church Initiative?
A: Any ALJC overseas church that meets the rigorous screening process as outlined below is a candidate for the program
Q: How Will the U.S. Church be Partnered with an Overseas Church that Needs a Building?
A: The ALJC World Missions Department will facilitate the connection of a U.S. church that commits to the program with an overseas congregation that has been approved for a church building.
Q: Are there Different Types of Buildings that Can Be Built with this Initiative?
A: Yes. There are two building options in the Build-aChurch Initiative:
The Starter Church: The Starter Church is a simple church structure that typically measures 24’ x 30’. It can accommodate 50-60 people and has two basic bathrooms. The starter church is designed to be expanded easily for future growth.
The Standard Church: The Standard Church is a simple church structure that typically measures 48’ x 30. It can accommodate 100-120 people and features two basic bathrooms and two basic classrooms or offices. The Standard Church can also be expanded easily for future growth.
Q: What Does it Cost to Build a Church through the Build-a-Church Initiative?
A: The Starter Church costs $10,000 to $15,000, depending on the field and available materials. The Standard Church costs $15,000 to $20,000, depending on the field and available materials.
Q: How Does the U.S. Church Get Funds to the Church in the Field?
A: The U.S. sponsor church sends funds to the World Missions Department, which holds the funds in escrow until they are periodically requisitioned by the overseas church as needed to pay for materials and labor. The U.S. sponsor church can send the funds to the World Missions Department as a lump sum or in quarterly or monthly installments.
Q: How Long will it Take for the Church to be Built?
A: The Build-a-Church Initiative is a one-year program. The U.S. sponsor church commits to funding the project in full within one year of enrollment, and the church in the field is built within one year from the start of the partnership.
Q: Can the Sponsoring Church be Involved in the Construction of the Building Overseas?
A: In some fields, it may be possible for the U.S. sponsor church to send a team of workers from its congregation on a short-term mission trip to the field to help with any significant element of the construction project. Doing so would require the approval and coordination of the World Missions Department. Any costs associated with sending a team to help with construction would be the responsibility of the U.S. sponsor church and would be in addition to the costs of the building.
Q: Will the Church in the Field be Built on Land Owned by the ALJC?
A: The ALJC of the U.S. does not own land overseas. The registered ALJC of a particular country owns immovable property in our mission fields. Churches built overseas as part of the Build-a-Church Initiative will be built on property owned by the ALJC of that particular country or on property where the ALJC of that country has a written agreement with the local church that secures a vested ALJC interest in the property.
Q: Is the Build-a-Church Building Moveable?
A: The building itself is constructed of steel beams, posts, studs, and siding. It is bolted to a foundation but can be disassembled and moved if necessary. The pilot Build-a-Church building in the Philippines is currently being disassembled and relocated to another piece of property. The building is designed to be movable.
Q: What are the Risks associated with the Build-aChurch Initiative?
A: While the ALJC Missions Department does its best to protect our investments worldwide, any investment overseas is an act done in good faith for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God. There are always risks associated with purchasing property or building structures overseas. While overseas properties are required to be in the name of the overseas ALJC
entity, in events such as a foreign pastor leaving the organization and refusing to surrender the property or building, a government seizure of the property or building, land disputes, acts of war, terror or political unrest, etc., our legal remedies are limited.
Q: How Are the Overseas ALJC Churches Selected to be a Candidate for the Build-a-Church Initiative?
A: Only ALJC overseas churches with pastors who have a long-standing relationship with the ALJC and whose commitment to our doctrine and organization is unquestioned will be considered a candidate for the Build-a-Church Initiative. Only candidates unanimously recommended by the corresponding ALJC Regional Field Supervisor, ALJC Missionary, and/or ALJC Superintendent of the corresponding field will be considered. Any prospective recipient of the program must submit a complete application, which must be approved by the aforementioned parties, as well as the World Mission Board and/or the Build-a-Church Board.
Q: What Reporting will be given to the U.S. Sponsor Church?
A: The overseas recipient church will send to the U.S. sponsor church via the World Missions Department quarterly updates that communicate the progress of the building project. Such updates may include pictures, videos, and written reports that can be shared with the U.S. sponsor church’s congregation.
Q: Can a U.S. Church Build more than one Overseas Church as part of the Build-a-Church Initiative?
A: Yes! A U.S. church can build as many overseas churches as it desires and is willing to fund.
Q: If Our Local Church Cannot Commit Alone to the Build-a-Church Initiative, Can We Partner with Another Church to Sponsor an Overseas Congregation to Build a Church?
A: Yes! Contact the World Missions Department, which can partner you with another U.S. sponsor church.
Q: Will This Program Have a Negative Effect On our Current ALJC Missionaries?
A: Our current ALJC-appointed U.S. missionaries are the foundation of our World Missions Department. Without their faithful work in the field, we would not even have ALJC works in countries around the world. It is imperative that we don’t build overseas churches at the expense of our regular monthly support of our current ALJC missionaries. For a U.S. church to decrease its monthly support of our missionaries in order to send funds to build an overseas church would be counterproductive. We ask that our U.S. churches only commit to the Build-a-Church Initiative if they can continue their current level of monthly support of our ALJC missionaries in the field.
Q: What is the Long-Term Impact of the Build-aChurch Initiative on ALJC World Missions?
A: The World Missions Department feels certain that building multiple church buildings each year for ALJC congregations around the world will impact our effectiveness in reaching lost people at levels we’ve never seen. This initiative has the potential to grow our worldwide constituency exponentially. The relatively inexpensive cost of constructing an overseas church building coupled with the church growth potential of such an endeavor yields an incredible return on dollars invested. The World Missions Department believes, in time, this initiative will prove to be the most impacting initiative we’ve ever launched.

GODLY MASCULINITY
by Ralph Tisdale
Masculinity is of God. From the very beginning—according to the divine sequence of creation—God established masculinity, then femininity, followed by companionship and parenthood. This order reveals that godly masculinity and femininity are not adversaries but complementary by design. True masculinity honors and strengthens femininity. True femininity, in turn, calls forth the best in godly masculinity.
Yet, we now live in a post-Christian society that aggressively undermines this divine order. Culture seeks to feminize and neuter godly masculinity while caricaturing men as weak, selfish, or useless. Masculinity is often labeled as destructive, sexist, and unnecessary. These accusations stem from a real—but misunderstood—problem: what society calls toxic masculinity is simply unregenerate manhood, devoid of the boundaries and virtues found in God’s Word. The solution isn’t less masculinity—it’s
redeemed masculinity. Biblical masculinity is not passive or predatory. It is defined by responsibility and commitment.
RESPONSIBILITY: THE HEART OF MANHOOD
If there is one word that defines authentic manhood, it is responsibility. A godly man takes responsibility for what God has entrusted to him—his family, his faith, his future.
This responsibility extends far beyond the basics of food, clothing, and shelter. Men are called to provide spiritual leadership in their homes. As husbands and fathers, we set the spiritual tone: family prayer before meals, faithful church attendance, and bedtime Bible stories are not just routines—they are means of discipleship. When Samson’s parents were told of his miraculous birth, they asked, “How shall we raise the child?” (Judges 13:12). Even
“ The most significant battlefield you will face is not the workplace, the political arena, or the marketplace—it is your own home."
a child with a divine calling must be raised with intentional care. How much more should we be asking God for guidance to raise our children in this generation?
THE CRISIS OF FATHERLESSNESS
We are witnessing the devastating results of neglecting this responsibility. For over a generation, we have watched the American family fracture under the weight of cultural confusion, ungodly ideologies, and spiritual compromise. The role of fatherhood has been dismissed and devalued—yet it remains just as vital as motherhood.
According to the National Fatherhood Initiative, nearly 18 million children in the United States live without a father or father figure at home. That’s more than the combined population of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston. The costs are staggering: economic hardship, emotional instability, poor academic performance, and increased risks of anxiety, addiction, and crime. Perhaps worst of all, fatherless boys are more likely to continue the cycle of fatherlessness themselves.
If you grew up without a father, understand this: Scripture affirms the necessity of fathers—both naturally and spiritually. You cannot change the past, but by God’s grace, you can break the cycle. You can choose to be present, faithful, and godly.
THE SPIRITUAL BATTLEGROUND OF THE HOME
The most significant battlefield you will face is not the workplace, the political arena, or the marketplace—it is your own home. That’s where the enemy aims his fiercest attacks. That’s where legacy is forged or forgotten.
Our homes must be places where children encounter the presence of God. Speak blessings over your children. Guard their hearts from secular confusion and saturate their lives with biblical truth. Let your home be filled with Scripture, songs of praise, and conversations about eternity. Raise your children in such a way that coming to know Jesus as Lord and Savior becomes not a strange surprise, but the natural outcome of a Spirit-filled environment.
As Frederick Douglass once said, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” That’s why God’s blueprint for the family still stands: one man, one woman, under the lordship of Jesus Christ.
The best plan for raising children is still: Mom, Dad, and Jesus.
