Despretly Needed! Fathers In America10% -40% of children in America are growing up with out thier biological fathers.
the average American Dad spends 1 hour a day with their children. (up from 20 Min a few decades ago)

I can think of no greater problem in our nation today than the problem of manhood. And I can think of no greater sign of the problem of manhood than the behaviour of fathers in this country. There are few social ills I can think of that are not in some way connected to the fact that so many men today, in and out of the home, are not loving or supporting the women who bear them children, are not loving or disciplining their children, are not being the first good example of what a man is for their sons and their daughters. Today, cowardice masquerades as courage, selfishness parades as wisdom, and falsehood is called wisdom. Today love is weakness, a woman’s word, and loyalty and sacrifice are for chumps. There is nothing of Christ in today’s notion of manhood.
We must face our fathers and love them, we sons. We must bless our sons and teach them, we fathers. Not teach them how to hurt but how to heal, not how to break but how to mend. If we cannot understand what made our fathers the men they are, we cannot be the fathers we hope to be.

“Until you have a son of your own… you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son. You will never know the sense of honor that makes a man want to be more than he is and to pass something good and hopeful into the hands of his son. And you will never know the heartbreak of the fathers who are haunted by the personal demons that keep them from being the men they want their sons to be.” — Kent Nerburn.

A Dads love for his children is spelled T-I-M-E.

As a matter of fact, fathering takes a life-time. God is serious about fathering and the family chain. Deut 6:2 “so that you and your son, and your grandson might fear the Lord yout God.”…God is challenging every man to lead his family for 100 years. This is impossible if we are only spending time with our children for 1 hour a day.
God has a promise and a blessing when fathers return to their children.
Malachi 4:6 “He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the fatherless, so that I will not come and smit the land with a curse.”
