  3. Anyone Can Have Children, Here’s How To Be A Father Larry Cline Hardin Valley church of Christ 6-16-2013

  4. 1. Love Your Wife

  5. You are creating a pattern and model for how your children will live their lives as parents and mates. “So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies.”(Ephesians 5:28)

  6. 2. Don’t Expect PerfectChildren

  7. “Fathers, don’t make your children resentful, or they will become discouraged.”(Colossians 3:21) Don’t expect your children to fulfill your unfulfilledgoals. Accept your children... acknowledge their imperfections... and love them in spite of them.

  8. 3. EnjoyYour Children

  9. “Behold, children are a gift of the Lord; the fruit of the womb is your reward.”(Psalm 127:3) Have fun with your children. The QUANTITY of time you spend with them indicates how important they are to you... Don’t give them your leftovers.

  10. 4. ListenTo Your Children

  11. “A wise man will hear and increase in learning.”(Proverbs 1:5) They need your undividedattention... be available.

  12. 5. ProvideFor Your Children

  13. “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.”(I Timothy 5:8) Don't rob your children of the blessing of WANTING WORKINGand WAITINGfor material things. Providing TOO MUCH is as bad as providing TOO LITTLE.

  14. 6. Train And PrepareYour Children

  15. “And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”(Ephesians 6:4) “The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, and he who begets a wise son will be glad in him.”(Proverbs 23:24)

  16. Teach your children BOUNDARIES and respect for authority. • If you don’t, THEY will become the authority in the home. • Prepare them for eternity and have a Godly influence onthe path they take for eternity.

  17. 7. Pray Fervently!

  18. Pray for yourself “Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face continually.”(I Chronicles 16:11) • Pray for your Children “Evening and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud; and He shall hear my voice.”(Psalm 55:17)

  19. Be God’s steward
