"It's one thing to teach a child how to build a fire with a match. It's another thing to teach a child how not to burn down the house with it. It's one thing to teach a child ballet. It's another thing to teach her to walk straight. It's one thing to teach a child to play the piano. It's also important that you learn not to steal things with those fingers" preached the late Dr. Frank Pollard on Father's Day waaaay back in 1988. It's not the typical Father's Day sermon praising fathers as Dr. Pollard used David to show how not to be a father. It's a wonderful sermon and worth watching. Enjoy.
Scripture: 2 Samuel: 18:33
(NIV) The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept. As he went, he said: “O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you—O Absalom, my son, my son!”
(KJV) And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
