For a fact, there is the primal longing for one’s father. And our daughters’ hearts are naturally turned toward ours with parallel longings. The terrible fact is, we can either grace our children, or damn them with unrequited wounds which never seem to heal. Our society is awash with millions of daughters pathetically seeking the affection their fathers never gave them — and some of these daughters are at the sunset of their lives. In the extreme, there are myriads of sons who were denied a healthy same-sex relationship with their father and are now spending the rest of their lives in search of their sexual identity via perversion and immorality.
Men, as fathers you have such power! You will have this terrible power till you die, like it or not — in your attitude toward authority, in your attitude toward women, in your regard for God and the Church. What terrifying responsibilities! This is truly the power of life and death. For these reasons we live in a time of great social crisis. Whole segments of our society are bereft of male leadership. At the other end of the scale, there are strong men who give their best leadership to the marketplace, but utterly fail at home.
We are the men! And if God’s purpose does not happen with the sons of the Church, it will not happen. Men, there are few places where sanctified sweat will show greater dividends than in fathering. If you are willing to work at it, you can be a good father. IF YOU ARE WILLING TO SWEAT, YOU WILL SEE ABUNDANT BLESSING. Helpfully, God’s Word provides us with an outline for a fatherly workout— in one pungent sentence: “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4).
GOD HELP US, AND DELIVER US ALWAYS;IN JESUS CHRIST MIGHTY NAME.
