BIBLICAL FATHERHOOD -- THE GREAT NEED OF THE WORLD
There are many types of fathers--good ones and bad ones. Good fathers earnestly seek to find out all they can to improve themselves to be better fathers. Bad fathers fail their families because they refuse to take their fatherhood seriously enough to find out and practice the requirements and responsibilities they need for good fathering.
I believe that one of the greatest needs of this world is true biblical fatherhood. There are good fathers throughout the different nations of this world who love their children and work to provide for their needs as much as possible. For such men, the world is indebted. They reveal fatherhood because God has put this instinct in every man. Yet, fatherhood without understanding a true biblical base falls far short of what the world really needs for fatherhood.
It would be wise for us to remember that God is a Father, the originator and prototype of all true fatherhood. Therefore, in order for men to be the best fathers possible, we must above all else turn to the Father of all fathers and learn from Him--for our children's sake and for the sake of the generations to come.
We will learn more of this biblical understanding in this series.
