fathers have a lot going in their minds, but its their nature to not let ppl know but take up the burden himself
fathers give life lessons
a father's teaching is worth more than 100 instructors' teaching
7 contrast between teachers and fathers
as much as we expect our earthly father to have all the things tt we want him to have, but they are not perfect!
our earthly father...
1. deserves to be honored
-how we honor your father and mother will determine how far we are going to make it in life
-if we cant even withstand the tension at home, how are we going to manage the tension and stress outside?
-tension at home is preparing us to enter into the world
-God will eventually show the value of honoring
-faith cannot be transferred, but only be demonstrated
the nature of God is love
perfect love drives out fear
-its normal to feel fearful / afraid..
-but the fear tt its being God's punishment.. then we are not made perfect in love
God allows consequences to train us, not as punishment
-it is not a cry of betrayal, but a cry of trust in God
we need to start to see God as a Father... not one who is far away
-honor your father even if you don't see anything to honor abt
-obey God, honor your father and mother!
