Rev. Hans Fiene of Missouri, a dad of five, reflects on Ephesians 3:14-17, sharing the importance of one's earthly father when it comes to fidelity in God the heavenly father.
'I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith' These verses come from St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians, who lived in what is modern-day Turkey, according to the website Bible Study Tools. They share an important lesson to remember for Father's Day, Rev.
Every so often, I see online atheists assert some form of the same argument: ‘The universe is very big and you are very small by comparison, so it is supremely arrogant to believe that God created something incomprehensibly vast just to love someone as insignificant as you,'' said Fiene. This argument is 'unconvincing,' he said — and is as 'illogical an argument as ‘kidney stones shouldn’t hurt because they're tiny.
But, of course, when fathers fail to love their children, when they’re harsh and selfish and distant, the end result is often that those children lose the ability to understand the concept of a loving God,' he said.
