Fathering
By David Delk,
President of Man in the Mirror
There are many goals we have as fathers for our children,
but what is it we ultimately want for our children?
I think our ultimate goal should be God's ultimate
goal, to help our children live a life of faith and
dependence on Him. This is not an easy job but I want
to share 3 simple principles that can help you on
your fathering journey.
- Show unconditional love
- Administer Discipline
- Be honest and vulnerable
When we love our children unconditionally, we teach
them that they are valuable and that God has created
them to live in a relationship of dependence on Him.
When we discipline our children, we help them see
the limits of their own "self-righteousness" and their
desperate need for the righteousness of Christ. When
we are vulnerable with our children, we model for
them a life of dependence and faith in God.
