Vital Step to a Radiant Faith-Honor Dad

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is to honor Dad.

One of the ten Commandments urges us to honor our father and mother.

This Sunday is Father’s Day-a good time to reflect on the legacy of our Dads and to appreciate the impact of Fatherhood on families and communities.

Fathers are called to have compassion on their children and train them in the way they should go. This involves times of discipline and instruction to guide them in the counsel of God. Fathers can also love and support their children by providing good gifts for them.

Proverbs 23:24 shows what can happen when we take to heart those lessons of faith that our Dads might have shared with us. “The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.”

Honoring Dad is a Vital Step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.
