OFTEN, DYING MEN ARE WISE MEN

One day, I visited a doctor who was battling cancer.

His own doctors told him he had six months to live. When I saw him, he had all the signs of success: big house, big cars, big job. But he told me something that struck me deeply. He said, “Brother Bo, please pray for me. I’m in pain. But the physical pain I experience is nothing compared to the hurt in my heart.”

He wept for a long time.

He finally blurted it out, “Bo, my kids don’t even want to visit me.”

I was shocked. “Why?” I asked.

“I can’t blame them. My children and I never had a good relationship. When they were growing up, I didn’t have time for them. I was so busy with my job. I’d go home impatient. I blew my top often. When I was angry, I couldn’t control my
mouth. So I’ve said nasty things to my children that I wish I never said. Sadly, I can’t take back my words.”

He kept sobbing.

I prayed for him.

We were alone in his room. And it seemed like he was going to die alone.

I couldn’t help comparing this scene with the last years of my father. He was always surrounded by his kids and grandkids. Every day, we were there with him.

Friend, how do you want to die?

Why the Kings of Israel Failed

I found something interesting in the Bible.

In the span of 300 years, Israel had 42 kings. You know some of them: King Saul, King David, King Solomon, etc.

But out of 42 kings, only eight were considered “good” kings.

That’s pretty sad.

That means 34 kings were spiritually bankrupt.

Why?

Here’s the crux of the problem: Fathers were busy building their kingdoms, they had no time to build their sons. Like anywhere else in the world, kings passed their throne to their sons. Usually, a bad king begets another bad king.

And that’s the same problem today.

Fathers don’t have time for their sons and daughters.

Fathers aren’t leading their families to God.

Fathers aren’t mentoring their children.

Don’t commit the same mistake.

Build up your children, not your empires.
