    Jesus used many things to illustrate His truths. For Father’s Day we discover God’s truths for fathering from the Bible through the use of every man’s tool: duct tape.

    Today is a great day for men - Father’s Day. Jesus would often use objects to get His truth into the hearts and minds of people, so they would remember it easily for long time and get the point. Fish, nets, fishing, bread, water, rivers, trees, fruit, vineyards, wooden board/pole, shepherd/sheep, ...read more
