Interview with Scott Brown from the South Pacific: Why Christian Sons Should Honor Their Fathers By “Spreading Their Fame.”
“But there are two things that I want for my son...the first is that it will be driven deeply into his heart that my father delights in me, because my father does delight in me, and he expresses it all the time. He’s expressed it many times to me on this trip, and I, and I don’t know how often David has heard those expressions, but I want him to see it demonstrated that a father is delighting in this son, so that he can know what it looks like. So that by example he can see how a father does delight in a son. My father has expressed his delight in me every day that we’ve been together.
The other thing is that he would, my son would see that I do honor my father...that I do love my father and I do want to do his will. And I want my son to see my, his grandfather as he really is. He’s an ordinary man, but his fame should spread. It’s a son’s task in life to spread the fame and the glory of his father in the same way that the Lord Jesus Christ spread the fame and the glory of His Father in heaven.”
