Godly Fathers

The evidence is mounting that we live in a culture of single-parent homes, where mothers are rearing children without the help of a father. Family Research Council statistics tell us that currently one-third of American children live in a home with one parent and that by the age of 17, 45% will live in a single parent home. The effects of the decomposition of the family include increased poverty rates for children, increase in juvenile crime rates, and an escalation in high school drop outs. What is desperately needed in a time such as this is more godly fathers who understand their office and calling in light of Scripture. This message explores the Biblical definition and duties of fathers, and contains a substantial amount of specific application aimed at helping fathers connect Biblical duty to real life situations.
