This is a continuation and the last part of our discussion on Christian Fatherhood. In part one we laid a biblical foundation of fatherhood by asking the question, What is a biblical father? - Biblical Foundation. This second part answers two questions: (1) Why should I biblically father my family? - Biblical Motivation. (2) How can I biblically father my family? - Biblical Implementation.

Like Noah, we live in a world filled with evil. Society during Noah's time was not very different from the one in which we live today. Sin, violence, and hypocrisy were prevalent. People walked far from God and this brought sorrow to His heart. But there was one exception: Noah. Even in the midst of a world full of evil Noah lived differently. Today's podcast is an encouragement to be a model of faith that your family and your society can follow. Don't be content with the status quo. Don't accept the world's pattern as the norm. Follow God's instructions as clearly given in His Word. Remember Noah and dare to be different.

The nature and makeup of the scissors has much to teach couples. The scissors models an ideal couple. This episode communicates some lessons every couple should learn from the scissors in order to become better couples and build enviable homes.

Many things are happening in today's family many of which do not make for good news. David was a wonderful king, but a negligent and absent father. When David's first son, Amnon raped his half sister, Tamar, David though aware of the rape failed to deal with the sin and this led to other problems in his family.

Can you imagine the impact we Christians could have on our world if every couple were to disciple their own children, and these, in turn, were to disciple the next generation?

In this first episode on Christian Fatherhood we answer the question, what is a biblical father. We lay a biblical foundation of fatherhood.

As we come to know our God and realise how special we are to Him, we have sweet fellowship with Him and draw on His strength. God knows and cares about you and your family. As you listen to today's message may you receive strength from the Lord for the new week and for the new month ahead. Amen!

Parents help shape the world's future by the way they shape their children's values. A parent who will please God is NOT one who will say to the children, "Do as I say, not as I do." If we want our children to love the Lord, they need to see that our love for Him is more than just words. It needs to be shown in our actions as well.

The brothers of Joseph had wanted to get rid of him, but God used their evil actions to fulfill his ultimate plan. God's plan for your life is not dictated by human actions. When others intend evil towards you, remember that they are only God's tools. Joseph was able to forget all the hurts brought on him by brothers, hugged and comforted them. In addition to forgiveness, he offered them a home and food for the rest of their lives. This same unconditional love and grace needs to be demonstrated in our family relationships, between husbands and wives, parents and children, brothers and sisters. A family where God's grace is not only present but ministered between family members is a blessed family indeed.

Marriage was created by God to be a symbol of unity, two people living together in harmony. When one of the partners in marriage is a Christian and the other is not, it is very difficult or practically impossible for this to exist.
