The Role of a Father in the Family According to Scripture Photo by Szilvia Basso on Unsplash When I sit down and think about what a father is supposed to be… honestly, sometimes my mind gets a little foggy. Maybe because fatherhood feels huge. And fragile. And beautiful. And sometimes scary. The Bible paints this picture of a father that’s both strong and tender, wise and learning, gentle and tough when needed. And somewhere in that mix is a very human man trying to honor God with his life. Today, I want to walk through what Scripture actually says about the role of a father in the family , verse-by-verse style, comparing some Hebrew and Greek words, and talking real. Not polished. Not theological like some heavy textbook. Just casual and maybe helpful. This is long, like a blog you’d sit with for a while. Maybe with tea. Or coffee. Or while kids are screaming in the background—because that’s real life. 1. The Foundation: God as Father Before Any Human Father Before we even tal...

Delaying of God’s promise, What the Bible teaches us about Waiting Seasons Photo by Martin Sanchez on Unsplash INTRODUCTION Waiting is one of the most difficult phase we go through as Christians. As humans, we only endure hard times only when we are seeing the progress. We feel like we can survive our struggles only when there is a movement in a situation. However, when nothing seems to change or happen, when our prayers are not being answered and promises delayed, our faith is challenged. Waiting season is not about passing of time. It is about understanding God’s power in silence. It is trusting God in the hard time even we are not seeing any outcome. The Bible is full of people who waited, not for days or weeks but years. Their stories about waiting shows that waiting is not wasting time. Waiting season is about sticking on our faith and shaping our character. Waiting season is considered as spiritual period of preparing, growing and refining where we wait for the promise...
