On this Father’s Day 2025, I was thinking this morning about what a difference fathers make the lives of, as Rush Limbaugh used to say, young minds full of mush.

The Bible tells us that the job of parents is to lead children in the way in which they should go.

The Bible was talking about the nuclear family, mother and father, the only ones who can biologically procreate.

Mankind being fsllen creatures, along the way, have corrupted this nuclear family, sometimes innocently, other times for cultural and political purposes.

What I mean by that is the fact that in modern cultures, and along the way in history, different aspects of human sexual proclivities and cultural bias have attempted to convince men that it’s okay to have multiple wives and that the biblical representation of husband and wife can be replaced by husband and husband and wife and wife, or even a single parent.

When President Lyndon B. Johnson decided that the government could take care of struggling black families better than the father and mother, the corruption of the Black family unit began.

Today, almost 75% of black children are born under wedlock, robbing them of the richness and fullness of the traditional family unit.

Sure, other uncles and family friends can try to substitute for the father role, but it’s not the same.

Without a father in their lives to teach boys how to grow up to be a man and to counsel them when they become one, males in our society a lot of times lose their way as to what their responsibilities are as a man.

My own father knew what his responsibility was toward me and I am thankful and grateful that God put him in my life.

I’m also thankful and grateful that God let him survive jumping out of a perfectly good boat on Normandy Beach on June 6th, 1944.

What I’m trying to say this morning is that a society rots from within without the guidance of both fathers and mothers in the lives of children.

If you do not believe me, look at all the protests yesterday and the ones we’ve seen recently as Americans are protesting on behalf of those who have sworn to kill us because we are Americans Americans and our closest ally, as well.

Does that make any sense to you?

On this Father’s Day, I wish every child had a father who was active in their lives, and I wish a Happy Father’s Day to all of the American Dads out there.

Until He Comes,

KJ
