The Role of the Christian Father


Ephesians 6:1-4

Children must obey parents in the Lord,
For this is only right never to be ignored;
Honoring your father and mother has hope,
Preparing for the future better to cope;
So it may be well with both God and you,
As well as able to live a long life through;
Fathers not provoke children to a wrath,
They will stray from the righteous path;
Raise them in nurturing from our God,
Admonition of where they are flawed.
Children are one of our great treasures,
Able to give you a world of pleasures;
They can dream up of the craziest things,
Mostly a vision of what the future brings;
Mother and child have a particular bond,
Feeling what is wrong and how to respond;
As fathers are tasked to spiritually train,
With the discipline for maturity to gain;
Since it is up to the father for to reflect,
The image of God that he is to project.
