Man if that doesn't make you think... If we don't need God for anything else, we need him to teach us what it means to be a real father.
man, what does this line of thought say for our generation. In what ways can we, the church, impact the human race in this area?
Sadly, A poor father doesn't just affect boy. It affects their daughters and really the whole world. Its a shame to know that the fathers today have become so irresponsible.
Thanks for this post.
In recent months I've noticed the effect of not having a father around to teach me the things a man need know. My dad died shortly before I turned 13. It's a loss I'm all to aware of now.
