June is Fatherhood Month. We are reclaiming the month because the homosexual community has claimed it as Pride Month. That is perversion. We cannot participate in that ever. It is time we honor fathers the way our families and society desperately need.

A Needed Stand: June is a good time to remember how much fathers matter. A dad who loves God, worships God, and obeys God leaves a mark on his children that words alone cannot leave. Our families do not need perfect men. They need surrendered men who will say, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).

A Humble Heart: The Bible says, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. When the homosexual community calls their celebration Pride Month, it tells us everything we need to know. Pride says, “I will do life my way.” Folks, that is why it is so unbiblical. That is why it is unholy.

Humility says, “Lord, I need You to lead me.” That is where real strength begins. A father who bows before God is not weak. He is showing his family what true courage looks like. 

A Godly Example: Statistics prove it. When fathers get engaged in church and come to know the Lord, their whole family usually follows. It changes the home, the Church, and eventually society.

According to national research, 85 percent of youth in prison come from fatherless homes. Children with actively involved fathers are 43 percent more likely to earn A’s in school. And children are three times more likely to follow Christ when their dad leads spiritually.

Children watch more than they listen. They notice whether church is optional or a priority, whether prayer is real or just talked about, and whether God is first or not. When fathers put God first, it brings order, peace, and strength back into the home.

Dads, your family needs your example. Lead with humility, love, consistency, and faith. We are asking all the dads to be in church every service — one on the weekend and one midweek. Show your wife and kids that God comes first. Your kids will get into church. Your wife will come along. Marriages will get better, and families will get stronger. When we put God first, everything gets better.

Starting today, let us take our stand and reclaim June as Fatherhood Month.

God bless you,

Just a thought,
