“Where Are The Fathers?” Father’s Day June 16, 2024 1 Corinthians 4:15 – “Not many Fathers ….” Ephesians 6:4 – “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.” A LEADER Not a “dictator”: Must be present, humble (Beware of “never good enough”) Not an “enabler” (partner in staying disordered, undisciplined, irresponsible). Discern the difference in “it’s ok” and “you’re ok”! Not a “shame motivator”. Learn how to “call out” and how to “call up” (You are better than your bad choices!) Stop all the “Rescues” (Sowing/Reaping) (Galatians 6:7) (You are an advocate, but not a savior.) ✸ An affirmer, encourager through the Holy Spirit. ✸ We have to know our Father and how HE sees us, loves us, corrects us, defends us …. PRAY for your children! Part of bringing God’s nurture to them!
