I am currently reading Paul David Tripp's devotional on Psalm 51 entitled Whiter Than Snow: Meditations on Sin and Mercy. In chapter 23 entitled "Everyone's a Teacher", Tripp argues that teaching is not reserved for the professional. Rather, everyone is called to be a teacher. Specifically, people learn from our lives. Tripp says, "People learn, not because I've opened the dictionary of grace, but because I've shown them the video of grace in operation." (p.72)
The question for fathers is simple: what has your life been showing your children? Has your life been full of grace? When you come home from work, how can you live out a life of grace for your kids?
