Tribute: The Head and his Body

Just weeks ago, Deus Ex Gospel celebrated good mothers everywhere.

This week's post will celebrate our fathers.

What kind's of things do they do?

Fathers are the ones who stand, usually in quiet reserve, behind us.

They encourage us, teach us, and usually enforces law in the home.

Good fathers are the ones who presided as Patriarch [or male leader] of the home, respects judgment of his spouse, and is willing to ensure the success of his family.

Scriptures with Stalwart Fathers

In biblical times [and even in some cases today] linage was traced through the fathers. There are many great fatherly figures who forged great men [and woman] who forever changed history.

Here's a few:

Adam: The first man on earth, and with his wife Eve started the human race.

Abraham: The Great patriarch and Father of MILLIONS around the world. Showed trust in God in tough situations and was blessed and blessed his grand prosperity.

Jacob/Israel: Another Patriarch who had 12 sons, who would later develop into a great covenanted nation.

Joseph of Nazareth: The mortal “step-father” of Jesus Christ, and accepted the call as such despite social pressures and preserved his family in times of danger.

The 2000 stripling warrior's Fathers: Although the mothers are credited for the bulk of these young men's success, the fathers gave them supplies and aid to allow them to continue their success.

When the father of a family sets his home up in Gospel principles, he [along with his kids and wife] will find respect, honor, and great men rising from his own home.

Conclusion [to this post]

To conclude this post [there's not much to it], here's a clip that most families [and fathers] can relate with. It is a message that both inspires us all to overcome adversity, and to fathers to not give up, as there are good things to come.
