My Dad

Happy Fathers Day. Few people have more cause to celebrate this day than I do. I was raised by a Godly dad, who is still alive, and had both my Godly grandpas till I was 28 years old.

The Gospel was for sure conveyed to me through masculine channels. This is a missing trait in much USA Christianity. Too many dads are absent and/or abdicating their spiritual role to wives and mothers.

This is tragic, because studies continue to show that children tend to follow the religious habits of their dad rather than of their mom. Men, we need to step up to the plate and fulfill our God-given responsibility to raise Godly children.

I intend to go see my dad tomorrow. He will turn 86 in August. One thing I hope to remember to tell him is how grateful I am for the spiritual influence he had in my life.
