"Fathers..."
“Fathers…”
Blessings folks!
A Word to the Fathers…
Something “not to do”…
Two things “to do”...
Ephesians 6:4
4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger.
Far too much “provoking” goes on “in the name of the Lord”. I can recount story after story of provocation. Often, it is done under the guise of discipline/instruction, but nothing could be further from the truth. A true heart of Father will not provoke. He will not cause a child to anger.
Then, a commandment…
Fathers, bring your children up in the discipline of the Lord.
Bring your children up in the instruction of the Lord.
The Proverbs provide many examples of discipline and instruction in the Lord.
Not discipline and instruction of Man.
In the Lord.
Learn the Lord’s way.
Live the Lords’ way.
