“FATHER’S DAY”

By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.

The following article came to me recently and I contended that I should pass it on. It has been slightly edited. Please read it - it possibly will bless you real good!

Father is a title of honor given to men who establish anything important in human affairs. A man who occupies an unusual place in history is sometimes also called a father. It is given only by custom.

Father of America - Samuel Adams, one of the most active patriots in the cause of American independence.

Father of His Country - George Washington is the father of his country according to the people of the United States.

Father of the Faithful - Abraham, who was the ancestor of the Hebrew race.

Father’s Day - is a day on which many people of the U.S. and Canada express gratitude and appreciation by giving their fathers presents or greeting cards. It comes on the third Sunday in June and many organizations hold special programs to celebrate the day.

Mrs. Bruce Dodd of Spokane, Washington, started Father’s Day in 1910. Later the custom spread throughout the U. S. In 1936, a national Father’s Day Committee was formed, with headquarters in New York City.

All Father’s stand - now those who have been a father less than 1 year sit down, 5 years sit down, 10 years sit down, 20 years sit down,
30 years sit down, 40 years sit down, 50 years sit down.

Plainly, don’t get short changed. Let’s be ready to meet our Maker. The Bible (Acts) teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven -we must:

1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31) 2) Repent Of Sins (17:30)
3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37) 4) Be Baptized In Water (2:38)
5) Live A Christian Life (14:22) 6) Be Active In The Church (2:42)
