The Role of the Christian FatherEphesians 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.
