Biblical Qualities of a Christian Father
This week, Keith Holloway looks at what the Bible has to say on parenting and lays out ten principles for Christian fathers.
In the Face of Failures
Several studies in sociology and other educational sciences demonstrate that an overprotected child who has been spared everything, having known only victories, will find himself at a disadvantage, even perhaps in serious danger when the great trials of life hit him or her.
It’s natural to want to shelter our children, but one of the most extraordinary skills that we are called to develop for our families is a healthy, biblical view of how to go through trials.
Listening to the Little Pains
As a child, my daughter Elisabeth, once asked us for a hamster as a birthday present. So we gave it to her, and she named it Bidule. She petted him, spoke to him, and was just in love with him.
One morning, while we were getting ready to go to church, my wife took Bidule out of his cage so that he could stretch and run around a bit on the balcony, but then she forgot him there! After a whole morning at church and a meal at a restaurant under a blazing sun, we finally returned home to discover that Bidule was in hamster heaven, dried up by Quebec’s summer sun.
An Opportunity for Education
Our partners in some of the most restrictive Asian countries are working to help children in remote villages be able to go to school and connect their families with the church.
Education can make all the difference in helping a family break the cycle of poverty, especially in Asia where a high emphasis is placed on children caring for their elderly parents.
Making Peace at Home
World Challenge partners around the world but particularly in Central Asia are working to make children safe at home despite the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chances are good that if you’re a parent, you can quote Ephesians 6:1-3 by heart. “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother’ (this is the first commandment with a promise), ‘that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.’”
You Can Be the Love That Changes a Child's Life
Father’s Love ministers to children from low-income, often single parent households. Today, they share their heart for the work and how God is redeeming the next generation.
An Investigator on Children’s Behalf
World Challenge partners in Burundi have made their lives’ mission to connect abandoned street children with their God and families.
As is our custom, when we receive a new child at the Eh’ikirezi Transition Center, we make up a personal file for them with all the information we can find about their health, family and life before coming to the center.
