Father's Day

Honoring Fathers Who Lead with Faith
On Father’s Day, we pause to honor the men who serve as the heads of their households. A good father is often unsung, unpraised, and unnoticed—yet he remains one of the most valuable foundations in our society.
In God’s design, the father reflects the character of God Himself. He is called not only to provide, but also to serve as an example, teacher, spiritual leader, disciplinarian, and guide for his children. One of the greatest needs in America today is for men of moral and spiritual strength who lead their families by example and in the ways of God.
The home is the basic unit of society. Strong homes are built on a foundation of faith, and fathers play a vital role in that process. Here are a few encouraging reminders for all fathers:

1. Know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. This is the foundation of a godly life and leadership in the home.
2. Recognize the responsibility of building a happy, faith-filled home. It is a calling worthy of dedication and prayer.
3. Be present. Children crave your time, attention, and presence more than any material gift.
4. Set a Christ-centered example. Let your daily life reflect integrity, kindness, and devotion to God.
5. Discipline with fairness and love. Remember that your example is the most powerful form of instruction—children often model what they see in their parents.

Scripture reminds us:
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6
Today, may each father recommit to being a faithful leader, a source of wisdom and love, and a reflection of Christ in the home.
