To demonstrate
persistently and, as far as possible, consistently to my son how a biblical
husband practically loves his wife; and to likewise show my daughter what kind
of man she should one day accept as her own husband. To describe these traits
long after they have seen me living them before their eyes. With God’s help to
share the gospel and sound doctrine and experiences of holy worship and honest
prayer with my children daily and in all circumstances. To live an exemplary
life that they might see in their dad a man dedicated to obeying God and living
a blameless life but, because I will fail at this sometimes, for them to
also see what repentance looks like.
May the Holy Spirit help me to do all this. Oh that
all Christian fathers walked this way.
