Father's Day Message: A Few Good Men

Fathers have such a great privilege. They are given the great responsibility to care for their kids and be a husband. However, caring for their kids covers a vast array of responsibilities. Some responsibilities may be elective, in that you as a caregiver choose to allow them to do something or participate in an activity. Whereas things like health, discipline, spiritual, and education should not be elective, just a "given."

Sunday we celebrated Father's Day. In the message, I challenged the men to stand in the gap, live their lives with the understanding of the responsibility that comes with the territory. Husbands need to be one of the "few good men" who will choose whom their family will serve.

In Ezekiel 22:30, Ezekiel challenges the men to volunteer and to stand in the gap. He wonders who will choose to respond to the challenge.

I think that God may always expect to see His people, specifically the men in this case, be ones who will stand in the gap of life to respond to the challenges set before them. To look for volunteers, not forcing anything to happen, hoping to see people just step up.

Will you be one of the few good men?
