FriDudes - Getting Real. Pursuing Truth.

Fathers: Most Had Bad Dads

DJTommyP413 Season 7 Episode 20
  • Yes!  You are in!  Just like Mother's Day, Father's Day can be a tough time for most.  For many of you did not have the best parents.  How do I know that?  I ask...plus Rom 3:23.  Yet there is a solution that some of you leverage that can guarantee you have the Ultimate Father.  Here you go...
  • If you dig that opening hook that is Marcus Rogers, best life.  
  • Ok, reflection time.  Good dad or bad dad?  Probably somewhere in the middle.  Here's a good test.  When you walk down the card aisle, can you pick any of those cards?  The sappiest of the sappiest.  Oh Dad, you are the greatest!  #1 Dad!  If you can't, you are not alone.  In fact, I would say you are in the majority of this broken planet.  Survey of FriDudes says that about 75% did not have the best dad.  You see that's the key fact.  We live on a broken planet.  Even if your parents were good, they weren't perfect.  How do I know that?  Rom 3:23.  
  • So when my kids take something to me (I have 3 kids with my wife Lori of 30+ years), if I have my A game, I'll ask them, did you take this to your Ultimate Father first?  As for me, I'm far from perfect.  I've dug many holes.  Granted, I can also teach them what not to do (avoid my mistakes).  On top of that, my mood can vary.  That can swing advice.  
  • No matter what your earthly Dad was/is, you do have a perfect Heavenly Father.  The Ultimate Power Source.  The Creator of Heavens and Earth.  You don't think He knows best?  
  • My best decisions came when I put Him first.  My worst decisions came when I put myself first.  It is that simple of an equation.
  • Your choice and freedom to who you put First.  
  • My earthly Dad got that.  He didn't have the best earthly dad.  In fact, he had a violent alcoholic dad.  How did my dad change course?  You can actually hear his story.  Click here in the show description for that link...

  • Now go love, your Ultimate Heavenly Father and Guide.  Next, love others, such as your flawed parents.  So if they need mercy and grace, surely I say, you will need grace and mercy too.
