The Big Deal About Dads
Larry Wynn
Psalms 78:5-8
Introduction
A. A survey was done among children who demonstrated positive self esteem and a sense of peacefulness. The findings were astounding:
Ninety-five percent of the boys said their fathers regularly told them, ''i love you.''
Ninety-eight percent of the girls said their mothers told them regularly, ''i'm proud of you, or you're doing a great job.''
Ninety-one percent of the kids said their parents played games with them.
Ninety-four percent said their fathers attended athletic events with them.
Ninety-seven percent of the boys said they got hugs from their dads.
One hundred percent of the girls said they got hugs from both mom and dad.
B. From this survey one can see the importance of strong moms and dads.
c. The bible is clear when it teaches the importance of passing values from one generation to the next.
1. Today's passage from psalms 78:5-8 is indication of this truth.
2. How we relate to our children can and will make the difference in how they relate to themselves and society.
d. The bible is truth spoken in love.
1. The bible goes right to the point.
2. A man's primary responsibility is the provision for his family.
3. There is no place where salvation is proved or disproved more than in the home.
E. On this father's day i want to take the acrostic for father and use it to remind us of the characteristics of a godly dad.
I. Faithfulness.
A. To respond to the authority of christ. God can be viewed several ways.
1. Irrelevant: many do not view god as necessary or relevant.

2. Passive: many have a passive relationship with god. One that is determined by society, family, or church.
