If Fathers Did What They’re Suppose To
Nathan Hayes: “You know, if fathers just did what they’re supposed to do half of the junk that we face on the streets wouldn’t exist.”
The Trials of Being a Father
Adam Mitchell: “I’m accepting the fact that I have to learn how to do the hard things. There is so much in scripture about being a father, I never took time to look it up.”
Setting the Standard for Fatherhood
Adam Mitchell: “I don’t want to be a good enough father. We have a few short years to influence our kids. Whatever patterns we set for them in life will be used for their kids, and the generation after that. We have the responsibility to mold a life. And I don’t think that should be done casually. Half the fathers in this country are already failing, and I don’t want to be one of them. I’m talking about setting the standards that they need to aim for in life.”
Taking Responsibility
Nathan Hayes:“Part of being a man is about taking responsibility. Any fool can have a child… Let me break it to you this way, you are guilty. Listen, one day you, me, and every one of us are gonna have to stand before God, and he’s gonna do what good judges do.”
Good Judge or Bad Judge?
Nathan Hayes: “Ok. Suppose she (your mom) was brutally attacked, and murdered in a parking lot. The guy was caught and put on trial. They guy says hey judge, I’ve committed this crime, but I’ve done a lot of good in my life. If the judge let him go free, would you say he was a good judge or a bad judge?” …”because the Bible says that God is a good judge, and He will punish the guilty, not for what they did right, but for what they did wrong. Because He loves us, He sent his son, Jesus Christ, to take the punishment that we deserved, and put it on Himself, and that’s why He died on the cross. But it only applies, if you accept it. That’s why I asked for his forgiveness. I asked Him to save me. And I’m a new man because of Christ. You understand what I’m telling you? Then what’s holding you back?”
