MOTHER'S DAY

PRIDE & APPRECIATION

Father’s Day is an opportunity to tell dad how much you appreciate him. New dads, old dads, granddads, dads-in-law, stepdads, serious dads, and don't forget the spiritual dad too. There must be a million fatherly types out there, and without a doubt, there are at least that many reasons to honor them on Father’s Day. This special Father's Day segment honors some great men with good standards. 

HONORING OUR 2020 GRADS

They call it commencement because it’s supposed to be a new beginning. Graducation is one of life’s last clean transitions, a final passage from adolescence to adulthood that is predictable in ways other transitions rarely are. But this year’s graduates are staggering into a world that is in some ways unrecognizable. More than 90,000 Americans have died; tens of millions are out of work; entire industries have crumbled. The virus and the economic shock waves it unleashed have hammered Americans of all ages. But graduating in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic will have enduring implications on the Class of 2020: for their memories, their earning power, and their view of what it means to have a functional society. For these young adults, the pandemic represents not just a national crisis but also a defining moment. In that moment, it is our deepest hope that today's grads will have God-sized goals that will get them to God and find that the Lord is unlimited in His abilities and resources. Setting God-sized goals arrest your attention, adjust your attitude and accelerate your actions. So, prayerfully set great goals, and He will grow your character in the process. Our message to our grads is to trust God to teach you the way; to show you with eyes of faith way beyond the bounds of your experience, for His plan will prevail. The Bible says, "I know you can do all things; no plan of your can be thwarted." Job 42:2
