Father's Day

Father’s Day

When I was a younger Christian, my dad would often remind me of 1 Peter 3:15. He would say, “Derek, ‘Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,’” (1 Peter 3:15, NIV). It was the “gentleness and respect” part that he wanted me to get. I was passionate, but could also be very insensitive. Fathers just always seem to know exactly what we need to hear. This Father’s Day, think back on those pieces of advice or Scriptures your dad has shared with you. Keep in mind that those memorable pearls of wisdom are often straight from our heavenly Father. Now that’s something to pray about… love you, Dad!
