Al Mohler has posted about fathers on his blog, In which he points to the research of W. Bradford Wilcox of the University of Virginia, who argues that fathers play an essential role in the raising of children.
With articles like this I am becoming more and more convinced that fathers are of utmost importnace within our communities and that we as Christians need to strive to be Fathers to our Children who reflect just what God meant us to and to teach, disciple,provide for, love and encourage our children. And that as Christian men we need to work into calling men to Jesus and helping them to become husbands and fathers who are Christlike!

Gary, this Father's day I think many people were in a position of thinking on the role of a father- as many people celebrate theirs and their input and involvement in life and many wonder what went wrong. I think the one thing that will be constant, no matter the situation, is the belief that a good, solid, loving dad is an essential, God given role in family life and child development. All of us have learnt valuable lesons from our own dads in one way or another, none more important that what you have written- men be good dads!!

Just found this on DG blog:
Norman Fried writes about the value of fatherhood. He acknowledges that the feelings surrounding Father's Day are varied.
"For some, it leaves us anxious, as we recall the man who couldn’t be there when we needed him, or the man who is not here now when we need him the most. For others, it stimulates feelings of gratitude as we honor the times we had with our father by our side. There are some among us who never knew our father; others who have not yet separated and, thus, never had to learn to say goodbye. Regardless of our own individual story, we are, all of us, reminded at this time every year just how important fatherhood is; how lives are shaped, and paths are forged, through the direction and guidance of a man older and wiser." -
