Lessons that American dads and others could learn.

Yesterday, I had the fun and faith to preach about Father's Day. The insights came from Luke 15 and the model father. I noted how many families do not have dads at home and how many minors are in jail sans fathers. I looked around the news and found that Congress had 150 people vote for defeat in our war against Islamofacism in Iraq. Not a good model for kids. I saw that some teachers are seducing their students. Not a good model for kids. I noted that a book called 'The War against Boys', states that feminism is hurting the modeling that boys need to be men, leaders, lovers, and motivators. Where are out models today? Dads should be able to take care of their wives and families. They must be responsible for their actions. Take a look at our young men in the Middle East and we see great brave role models. Amazingly how they stick it out instead of cutting and running against evil. We sure cannot look to many of our sports millionaires to be our kids role models. Sex, drugs, and rocknroll are not good role models. Metrosexuals are not good role models. Perhaps we ought to go back to the tried and true. See the father in Luke 15. He has pretty good characteristics to lead our children even today!
