The Right Kind of Father

Father’s Day is a time for all of us who are fathers to consider what it means to be the right kind of father. The Bible extols the benefits of parental counsel. In the Book of Proverbs it says, My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart. Fortunate is the son or daughter whose father gives lots of good counsel.
The right kind of father counsels his children about their time, about their relationships, about their bodies, about their money, about their friends. He teaches them everything God has taught him and takes the time to invest his life in them.
Does this guarantee that every child of the “right kind of father” will turn out right? Not necessarily. But the ultimate reason to be the right kind of father is for God’s sake and not for the result’s sake.
