#Proverbs 22:6; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Psalm 127:3-5#
Henry argues that fatherhood is a God-ordained responsibility to diligently raise children in faith, not merely a biological role. He emphasizes Deuteronomy 6:4-9, stressing fathers' roles as primary spiritual educators, modeling faith through consistent teaching and actions within the home. Henry illustrates this through personal anecdotes, contrasting hands-on, faith-focused parenting with distant or uninvolved fatherhood. He highlights Proverbs 22:6, stating that consistent training in the Lord creates a solid foundation. The sermon affirms children as a blessing from God (Psalm 127:3-5), urging fathers to actively invest in their children's lives, nurturing their spiritual development over material success, thereby shaping future generations.
