“Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had known all the works of the Lord which He had done for Israel.” Joshua 24:31

This statement concerning Joshua is a testament to his faithfulness and to his ability to pass along his faith and values to the succeeding generation. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the admonition of Paul in 1 Timothy 6:1-4 held true generation after generation? “Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ which is the first commandment with promise: ‘that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.’ And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.”

I have been privileged over the years to know many fathers and sons who walked in the ways of the Lord. In the coming issues of BC I have asked some of them to share their articles with us. In this May/Jun issue we are featuring Richard Brannon and his son Marcus Brannon from Fresno, California. I have assigned topics, and these fathers and sons have agreed to write for us.

In the Jul/Aug issue we will hear from Ron Collins and his son Brian Collins from Sepulveda, California. Then in the Sep/Oct issue we will feature Edward Rouse and his son David Rouse from Hyderabad, Telangana, India. I was privileged to be in Hyderabad when David was born and was asked to give him his name.

I am looking forward to sharing these father and son articles with you. I am sure they will bless you in your walk with our Lord Jesus Christ. lsg
