True Fatherhood (1 Peter 5:8) by Dr. Pat Castle

04 Apr True Fatherhood (1 Peter 5:8) by Dr. Pat Castle

Your opponent the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. ~ 1 Peter 5:8
.
Reflection:  The Devil seeks to devour true fatherhood.  God built men to protect their families.  When the Titanic sank 100 years ago, history was rightfully ashamed of the privileged men who took life boat seats from women and children.  Men led women and children to the gas chambers in the Nazi concentration camps, and men are now coercing mothers into taking the lives of their own children at abortion facilities.  64% of abortions are coerced, primarily by men who discourage choosing life by saying something or nothing at all (silence is consent).  30% of women have an abortion, and 20% of pregnancies end in abortion.  Abortion hurts women and ends the life of a child.  82% of post-abortion women would have kept their child if just one person would have encouraged them.  Men need to protect women with encouragement, truth, and help.  Men need to bring women to pregnancy help centers.  Men need to protect women from the lies of the Devil who is “prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”  Men need to REMEMBER The Unborn, Jer 1:5.  Men need to love women and their children.
.
Challenge:  When encountering abortion-minded mothers, let’s commit to encouraging them by saying “you can do this pregnancy, choose life, and I’ll help.”
.
Pray the LIFE Runners Creed to end abortion.  Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.

Inspiration:  “We’re only going to be fathers to our children when we see that true fatherhood is rooted and defined in God the Father.” ~ Eric Mason
