How To Be A Godly Dad

Contributed by Kenneth Hampton on Jul 6, 2005

The most important person in every family in making certain of its spiritual security is both mom and dad, but dads have even more of an important job given that they are the family spiritual heads.

Scripture James is the brother of our Lord Jesus. Since Jesus was Mary’s firstborn child (Luke 2:7), James was obviously a younger brother. In fact, it is likely that James was the second-oldest of the five sons that Mary had (cf. Mark 6:3). James eventually came to believe that Jesus was in fact ...read more
