Focus on the Fathers, Part One

Children do not come with personal instruction manuals, but the Bible does have something to say about child rearing. We can gain much insight from the Apostle Paul’s direction to fathers not to exasperate their children. Alistair Begg examines the command in Ephesians 6 while considering the ultimate example we have in our Heavenly Father.

Ephesians 6:4

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