The Kind of Father God Trusts

0
March 14, 2011

As we have continued in our series of messages entitled “The Church and the Family”, it was apparent from the Scriptures that the responsibilities of the father in the home are enormous. These verses of Scripture may be of encouragement to you fathers who are struggling and actually endeavoring to be the kind of dads God wants you to be. Abraham was not a perfect man, in fact, he caused all kinds of trouble by fathering Ishmael, BUT God said this about him…

Genesis 18:17-19

(17)  And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

(18)  Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

(19)  For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

 

Remember, God is not looking for PERFECT fathers, He is looking for FAITHFUL fathers who will lead their households and train their children in the way of the LORD.

Dads, you can do it with God’s help!

As part of our series on the “Church & the Family”, the message will be “Children & Parents.” I believe these messages on the church and family are urgently needed today. Please be in your place to hear from God’s Word this Sunday.
