Christian Fathers' Role in Taiwanese Families Emphasized

Two Taiwanese Christian publications stress that fathers should model faith and love in daily family life. They cite biblical examples such as Abraham’s obedience and the instruction in Ephesians 6:4 that fathers should not provoke their children, but nurture them with gentle discipline and spiritual guidance.

The articles advise fathers to lead family worship, demonstrate reverence for God, and balance authority with compassion. They warn against using anger or favoritism, urging parents to create a stable, loving environment that fosters children’s confidence and moral development.
