F is for FAITHFUL. Fathers should be faithful to God first, then to their families. As a child growing up, I didn’t have to worry about my father and mother not being faithful to each other. They realized marriage is for life or “unto death do us part.”

A is for AFFECTION. There were a lot of worldly possessions that I did not have as a child, but I didn’t realize it at the time. The greatest of all possessions was to experience the warmth and love of both my father and mother. The bumper sticker asks, “Have you hugged your children today?”

T is for TIME. We hear so much about time and rightly so. There is nothing equal to the fact that as a father you spend time with your children. Little Johnny or little Suzie will be grown before you know it!

H is for HERITAGE. What are you, as a father, leaving behind for your children? Have you worked above and beyond to give your child material things, but neglected their spiritual well being? The greatest heritage a son or daughter could have would be the privilege of having a Christian father.

E is for EXAMPLE. As you know, your example is powerful. My own father’s example as a kind and compassionate man has influenced me greatly. Also his example in regular church attendance instilled within me the great importance of putting the church first.

R is for REPROVE. Reprove means to correct or to rebuke. So often we as parents believe that if we reprimand our children that we do not love them, but the Bible teaches right the opposite. Fathers have a great responsibility to see that their children are brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

We, as sons and daughters, are indebted to our earthly fathers. This is especially true if they are the type of fathers that God would have them to be. We should respect the wisdom of the “hoary head” and never refer to our dad as the “old man.”

May God fearing people everywhere pray that we may again be a nation that fears God; that we will be a land which the Lord cares for because of our righteousness, that the eyes of the Lord will always be upon us (Voice of Truth International Vol. 27 Pg. 76).

Our society says that we can live any way we want and still be found acceptable to God. The Bible says, “Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people” God simply will not bless a nation of people who refuse to give heed to His word. Christ’s church has the responsibility of sending out His saving message to all the world (Mt. 28:19-20; Mk. 16:15-16). Understanding this, may God fearing Christians everywhere continue to stand diligently for truth and preach the message of salvation. Adapted

Don’t ignore or neglect it.
