There have been too many negative impacts on our culture in what has been called the “Fatherless Generation” because so many dads have abandoned their families and kids have been raised without a dad in their lives. But it seems like these days, our society is embracing the idea of broken families as a positive. It’s like they have decided that the traditional family is not such a good thing—that there are no real benefits to having a mom and a dad who get married have kids and raise a family together. But the truth is that our society has suffered because of the lack of responsibility of so many fathers. And our culture has discounted the impact that good, godly fathers can have on, not only in their own families, but on society as a whole. A Godly dad inspires courage, compassion, morality, and most important of all soul-saving faith in his progeny. And if you multiply those qualities across a society of children you wind up with a courageous, compassionate, moral, and faithful generation, which benefits society with people who increase kindness, hard work, prosperity, and prayer. And when that happens, the nation and the world becomes a better place to live—not to mention a lot more people who enjoy a living relationship with the Lord.
