In order to fulfill God’s commission of becoming authentic men and fathers, not only must we become men of action, we must become men of honor in the eyes of our sons. Those eyes are watching us constantly. They observe, among other things, how we react to the many injustices in the world. Do we ignore them and live a lie, or do we live life? Will we do something-anything-to make a difference in the world?

Rick Johnson. Better Dads, Stronger Sons: How Fathers Can Guide Boys to Become Men of Character (pp. 19-20).
