Today’s Stereotypical Sitcom Dads

Morons ~ Minimal to Non-existent ~ Immature ~ Homosexual

“Of Nielsen’s list of this past year’s most-watched shows, only one show among the top 10 deals extensively with issues of fatherhood: ABC’s

“Modern Family,” ranked sixth. In fact, no other shows that consider men as fathers appear until the

five-way tie for 20th that includes “Family Guy.””

Today’s Fathers

• 24 million children today• 1/3 “live in biological father-absent homes”

Transformed Dads (Luke 16:11-32)

• Who admit sin. • Who see their need for God’s salvation.• Who forgive others the way God has forgiven

them.• Who show compassion upon others.• Who has become a humble servant before his

heavenly Father.

Dads Who Try to Serve God Faithfully

• Who work hard to provide for his family. Cp. 1 Tim. 5:8

• Who is faithful to his wife. Eph. 5:25• Who is a leader to his family. Deut. 6:5-9•Who spends time with his children. •Who is a role model for his children.

For This We Give God Thanks for Dads

• Through our fathers we see our need for our heavenly Father.

• We praise God for godly men who fear God, who love God and teaches his family to love Him.
