On my plane back from Florida, I listened to Albert Mohler‘s radio show from last Friday. In it, he alluded to his blog and an interesting article from one Phillip Longman. The blog Fatherhood and the Future of Civilization alludes to Longman’s article in Foreign Policy magazine: Why Men Rule — And Conservatives Will Inherit the Earth.

All this points to the heightened responsibility father’s have in exercising their role. (My friend, Brad Russell, issues a call to apply this into our lives.) We must commit ourselves to living our faith, especially in our homes. If God has not given you a child yet, this is a call to preparation. If you are father, this is a call to valiance and to take leadership for that to which we have been called.
