In Sunday school we have been going through the book of Titus. Our teacher was going through the section on the qualifications of an elder. While doing this he pointed out the the responsibilities of an elder are very similar to the responsibilities of a father. I thought I would post the list as it was a good reminder. Also I'm very grateful to have a father that fulfilled these responsibilities well.
Responsibilities of a Faithful Father:
• To love them unconditionally.
• To be concerned for their well-being.
• To develop the relationship with them.
• To pray for them.
• To serve as an example in doctrine and life.
• To provide biblical instruction.
• To guide them through conflicts and difficult decisions.
• To give spiritual comfort during trials.
• To warn and protect them from danger.
• To pursue them when they stray.
• To lovingly discipline them when they become rebellious.
• To labor to restore them when they fail.
• To call them to maturity.
• To prepare them for their future responsibilities.
