Communicate
With Father’s day this past week what comes to mind when you think of the word father?

Whether the answers are positive or not, one thing was clear: fathers have a tremendous impact on their children.

It has been said that children grow up with the desire to either be like, or be nothing like, their father.

With so much at stake, how can we ensure that we become good fathers?

The Bible has a lot to say on the matter. God calls himself father. Some of our best lessons on how to be a good father come from observing God interact with His children throughout Scripture.

The Genesis account of creation begins with God speaking the universe into existence. It then goes on to chronicle His conversations with mankind, starting with Adam and continuing on through angels, dreams, and prophets. In later Scriptures we learn that God also spoke through his Son, Jesus, and through the Holy Spirit.

If we are to father like the Father, then we must learn to communicate—frequently.

This can be difficult for us as men. The pressures of work and our various responsibilities often leave us drained. By the time we get home we often don’t want to talk. We may say little to our wives and even less to our children. We just want to find a quiet place to unwind.

While this is understandable, we dare not stay silent too long. Our children need our input. A father’s words are powerful and can often define the course of a child’s entire life. A lack of words can leave our children lost and without direction. We must take care not to give our best words to our employers and leave our wives and children with our leftovers.

What was the last thing that you said to your children? Was it a command, an expression of disapproval, or a proclamation of your love and admiration? What if those words were the last that they ever heard you speak?

Pray that God gives you the wisdom to know which words your child needs to hear from you, and the courage to speak them.

R+R=R
Respect + Responsibility=Reliable

What is Respect?
When you respect everyone from your friends, classmates, parents, adults and even enemies…people will respect you.

What is Responsibility?
When you take responsibility for yourself and the things that you are supposed to do, people know that they can trust you to do your best.

So when you have respect for others and you take responsibility for what you need to do, you become Reliable.

Reliable means that people know they can count on you to do what is right and what needs to be done. That they don’t need to worry about having to tell you two times to do something. Or wonder if it will get done. They know you respect them and that you want to do your best for them.
Your dads that brought you here today want you to be reliable. We want you to be the best person you can be. God loved you so much that he made you so that you can choose what you want to do. He put your dad in charge of teaching you the right way, to be respectful, to be responsible so that you can be reliable
