The importance of fathers

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. — Psalm 68:5

“In a recent article that I read online, a clinical psychologist shared that one of the most important things missing in our world today is a father. Countless homes exist without fathers to play their important role in the home, not just as a father, but as a husband. The article cited recent research that identified that fathers play a key role in the development of a child, that even a mother cannot fulfil.”
