A Word to Fathers — Part One

by Alistair Begg

Ephesians 6:4
 (ID: 3287)

Paul instructed fathers not to provoke their children to anger, assuming parental authority but appealing for its restraint. Reminding us that children ultimately belong God, Alistair Begg warns parents of certain pitfalls that are likely to exasperate their children and incite responses of bitterness and resentment. The responsibility of biblical parenting is impossible apart from the grace and wisdom of God the Father, who provides the ultimate example in the love and grace He demonstrates toward His children.
