A Godly Father

Psalm 128

You will always be blessed with what they left you and the heritage that they left in your life. If you have your Bible this morning I want us to turn to Psalm 128.

Psalm 128 ''Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.'' What a tremendous verse about the blessings that come to the man who is a godly father.
Now we live in a day when people have the roles of men and women mixed up.

But you know, in the Bible God teaches that men and women are supremely equal, but their roles are drastically and meaningfully different. Dr. Joyce Brothers said it clearly when she said, ''Are men and women really so different? They are. I've spent months talking to biologists, neurologists, geneticists, research psychologists and psychologists and what I've discovered is that men are more different that I' ...
