A Message To Fathers
Fathers are greatly needed and are worthy to be treated with honor by society.
As we celebrate “ fathers”, I ask that we examine our view of their importance in the lives of the family structure. Contrary to today’s popular culture and the feminist movement, we are in great need of strong men. It seems that wherever we look, we can see the devastating consequences of the absence of men taking on their God given role in this society. Nowhere is it more evident than in the family.
God clearly assigns the joint responsibility of raising children to both the mother and father. Without the examples of a godly father, a child is deprived of much of the knowledge, discretions and understandings that are necessary for a meaningful life.
As fathers, weare to be reminded that the word of God has much to say regarding our responsibilities to our families (especially as it relates to teaching our children). Girls learn the standards by which they are to regard all men, by the relationship and the example set by their fathers.
In reading the first ten chapters of the book of Proverbs you will discover what instructions are laid out for the relationship of fathers and sons.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
History of Mt. Carmel
For moments lets go back, back in time to the year 1869 to a small town called Keans Neck, South Carolina. A group of recently freed blacks gather under the clear blue skies amid the moss-laden trees. The worshippers kneel on the velvet like grass and pray to God Almighty. They sing hymns accompanied by chirping birds and they read scriptures on a cathedral created by the hands of God. From this simple beginning evolved the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church of Dale, South Carolina.
