How are we all? We good? [clapping] Everyone except for the dads can sit down, or if you've got a father's heart, if you're married and you think you're gonna be a dad in the next few years, you need to stand up, all right? Because we're gonna put that verse up again, and I love this verse.

When Brad, uh, Pastor Brad actually gave us that verse, I went, "This is a man's verse." And actually, in the, at the beginning of it, it says, "Be on guard," right? If you translate that into the Greek or the Euros, the, um, the Greek version, all right...

Some of you missed that, but anyway.

Um, but, um, into the Greek version, it actually says, "Be men." All right? And I thought this would be a great thing for us men to read out loud.

All right? So, um, so here we go.

Be on guard.

So I've titled this little reflection Better to Be a Godly Father.
