The other day I was thinking about all the books I have and decided I needed to start reading again. King Me was one book I recieved on a men's retreat. I started reading it today and I found it to be very educating. Steve Farrar talks about fathers mentoring their boys and leaving behind a legacy. He opens the first chapter in describing haw an evangilist gave up everything to spend time with his son. Now, when I say everything, I mean he gave up his career to help mentor his son in the late teen years. I don't want to give the story away so I'll ask you to check out the book for yourselves.
I have always heard that a boy needs his father. So many times in a broken marriage, the son will rebel because their is no father to lead him in the right direction. I can say this with experience because my boys are struggling. There is a song that says "Boys are the only thing that God can use to make a man".
Dad's, we have a manual to mentor our boys and it's called the Holy Bible. This last year I have shown more effection to my boys and had more one-on-one talks with them than I have, probably, ever. I'm still working. My prayer is that all the dad's will come to God's calling.
We need to take lessons from the greatest Father of all, our Heavenly Father.
About Me
- Greg Edwards
- I grew up listening to music and that is what part of this ministry is about. I was un-churched and didn't know Jesus. I got saved in October of '88 but really didn't have a strong relationship with Christ. In the summer of '86, I listened to an evangalist named Greg Potts about the dangers of secular music. It was always in the back of my mind what I was listening to but I never took any action. After several years as a mobile dj, radio jock and club jock, I decided to give it all up. I listen to only Christian music and try to limit what I watch on tv.
