Today's society tends to make a mockery of the role of fathers, making them look like buffoons as we often see on TV sitcoms. The Bible, however, takes a different view. It instructs fathers in the following way:Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.--Proverbs 22:6Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: And the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; So are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.--Psalm 127:3-5Hearken unto they father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.--Proverbs 23:22The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.--Proverbs 23:24The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.--Proverbs 20:7This broadcast reflected the truth of these verses as listeners shared special words of tribute for their fathers.
