Last Sunday's Sermon: "Storm Stiller…" Text: Mark 4:35–41
Dear Friends in Christ,
Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
This is Father’s Day.
It is said that a good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and unappreciated heroes in all humanity.
One time a little boy was asked to define Father’s Day and he said, “It’s just like Mother’s Day, only you don’t spend as much on the present.”
The greatest number of long distance phone calls are made on Mother’s Day; the largest number of collect calls are made on Father’s Day!
Regardless what the world thinks or does on Father’s day, we the Church need to focus what counts on this Father’s day, the honoring of our parents according to God’s command and purpose, as the Fourth Commandment teaches us to honor our fathers parents. That applies to both young and old. Even if your father is no longer living, you can still honor what he taught you.
And to honor our fathers today, I would like to meditate on the vocation of being a father, something our world has lost or misunderstood. Some men even push to have their unborn children aborted because they don’t want the responsibility of raising children. Some fathers leave the mothers to raise the children without them. Some dads are workaholics. Some dads are destructive and violent to their families.
