The Male Teaches His Seed
Keep in mind, that a man is a godly father when he takes responsibility for his seed and gives his seed knowledge. (You see what happens when he doesn't) The source must train and instruct the resource. That is fatherhood. If you will notice, most women are doing the teaching and the training; but the Lord says that the fathers are to do the primary spiritual teaching in the home. That means you, as a man, are responsible not only for having babies, but also for training those babies and teaching them to walk in the ways of the Lord.
Remember this if you never remember anything else. It is difficult to lead children to the Lord if you are an absentee father. It's hard to take people to where God is if you are not heading that way yourself. You cannot lead your family to a place where you are not going.
The Male Maintains his Offspring
The fatherhood principle is to maintain. The man is responsible for the security, sustenance and development of his seed.
Keep in mind: Fatherhood means maintenance.
