The Call For Mentor-Fathers

I see a problem in today's mentor-fathers, that they take positions over others without knowing really what they are doing.

Fathering is an impartation. It's something you receive from someone who is a mentor-father. We are trying desperately in the world and the church to make what has been lost with books and CD's and seminars and DVD's etc. So, the result being we have individuals trying to be mentor-fathers out of a mental knowledge of being one.
Although this is necesssary and certainly contributes to the lack and assists with building skills, as with everythng today, we are attempting to replace the way it is designd to be caught and imparted, with instant solutions.

A man that has not grown up with parental oversight, especially a father's input and model, will find himself struggling to effectively raise children of his own. He is lacking in some areas the ability to impart character and direction to his children. Unless he makes a concerted effort to study the ways of a parent and father and seeks out the modelling of a reasonably successful father, he will always find his mentor-fathering, specifically, flawed. Please understand, I am not saying it cannot be done, but generally, father's are too busy and too unconcerned to put in this kind of effort it may require of them.

Hence the desperate need for mentor-fathers in our world today. Those that will be willing to take up the 'cause' for another generation. Everywhere people are driving themselves to accomplish more, be more popular, establish greater fame for themselves, gather more, but where are those that will say they are willing for another generation, take a step back and be the mentor-father's this generation needs?

There are children everywhere, and men, young men, who need mentor-fathers to show them the way. next door, at the work-place, in your community, in your family.
