God’s Idea of a Good Father | Genesis 18:14-19 | J. Allen Mashburn

In the Bible, we are confronted with many poor examples of fathers.

Such as, Ahab – 1 Kings 22:52; the men of Israel, Psa. 78:8, 78:57, Jer. 9:14. These Scriptures, along with many others, give glaring proof that there are bad fathers all about. In our day, the bad father is not hard to find. They are everywhere. However, finding that man who stands out as an example of what a good father ought to be is a hard animal to track down. About 3,500 years ago, God looked down on Abraham and declared him to be a good father. If a person will take the time to look at the life of Abraham, the reasons for this glowing assessment become abundantly clear. 

Today, we are going to look at Abraham’s life and see God’s idea of what makes a good father.
