We should view God as our heavenly Father. Brother Duane explains how fatherhood is under attack in America and the importance of having fathers in children's lives. The image of a father is being strategically dismantled both in the natural realm and the spiritual realm.
In the natural world, the absence and degradation of fatherhood lead to dysfunctional families and societal decay, which is evident from the troubling statistics on fatherless homes. Spiritually, this erosion mirrors and precipitates a disconnect from the Heavenly Father, impairing our relationship with God.
These attacks are strategically designed to undermine the nurturing, protective, and authoritative roles of fathers, thereby weakening the moral and spiritual foundation of society. The absence of fathers can have negative consequences for families and communities. Duane draws parallels between earthly fathers and God as a heavenly father, arguing that both provide guidance, protection, and discipline out of love.
