Father's Day Article and CMI Discount
Coupon
To celebrate Father's Day,
here is an article for you written by our Director,
Brad Winsted. He is the father of eight children and grandfather
of three. His second daughter, Rachel, was married on May
13th.

"Father's Day Foibles"
On June 18th our country (and most happily our home
improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowes) will celebrate
Father's Day. I suppose that setting aside a day
to honor fathers is not that bad of an idea. Scripture
surely gives fathers the leading role in spiritual headship
in the home and marriage (Proverbs 2-4, Ephesians 5:22
to 6:4, Colossians 3:18-21, Titus 2:5).
If Father's Day truly encouraged a biblical view of
fatherhood such a "day of remembrance and respect" would
motivate us fathers to higher ground in spiritual and
biblical leadership in the home. But, as our government
welfare programs, strident feminism taught in government
schools, and mass/pop media all demonstrate, fathers
are said to be expendable; a nice fuzzy reminder of
a bygone era, relegated to the sofa in front of TV to
be called on when something mechanical or on the personal
computer breaks down in the house. Sadly,
even in the church we too often today we see only
a small minority of fathers truly exercising spiritual
leadership in the home.
