Let me personally say to all our dads today, "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!" We at GBC are blessed to have a wonderful group of Christian men who are also great dads!!

Dads ... you have an overwhelming responsibility in your gift of fatherhood. You have to work a full-time job in order to provide for your family; you have to maintain your relationship with your wife; you have to fix and repair things around the house; you have to go and support your kid's activities ... games, recitals, plays, etc.; and you have to spend quality time with your family ... playing, biking, swimming, fire-pits, etc. Yes, Dad, all of that can be overwhelming. At the same time, Satan is doing all he can to tear you down, crush you, and cause you to doubt your faith. But Dads, let me encourage you today to "hang in there." Know that He, too, was tormented and tempted by Satan. Know that He not only stood up to Satan, He defeated him! We, as Christian dads, can stand up to Satan, we can defeat him, and we can walk in victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ! May God bless all of you dads today as you live for Him!
