Father Where Are You?

How To Be a Good Father

Correct and Lead Your Children in Love

⁴ Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Ephesians 6:4

Whether you realize it or not, fathers, you are to discipline, instruct, correct, and lead your children. You are the head of your household, it’s up to you to be the disciplinarian, as our Heavenly Father disciplines us, His children.
