或許是父親節近了，突然想起以前看過的一部電影：勇氣之名（Courageous）當中一段最令人動容的"父親之約"。
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The Resolution
I do solemnly resolve before God to take full responsibility for myself, my wife, and my children.
‧I WILL love them, protect them, serve them, and teach them the Word of God as the spiritual leader of my home
‧I WILL be faithful to my wife, to love and honor her, and be willing to lay down my life for her as Jesus Christ did for me.
‧I WILL bless my children and teach them to love God with all of their hearts, all of their minds, and all of their strength.
‧I WILL train them to honor authority and live responsibly.
‧I WILL confront evil, pursue justice, and love mercy.
‧I WILL pray for others and treat them with kindness, respect, and compassion.
‧I WILL work diligently to provide for the needs of my family.
‧I WILL forgive those who have wronged me and reconcile with those I have wronged.
‧I WILL learn from my mistakes, repent of my sins, and walk with integrity as a man answerable to God.
‧I WILL seek to honor God, be faithful to His church, obey His Word, and do His will.
‧I WILL courageously work with the strength God provides to fulfill this resolution for the rest of my life and for His glory.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15)

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　父親之約
我在神面前莊嚴起誓，為自己負責，為妻兒負責。
‧我將愛護他們，保護他們，服事他們，並教育他們，將神的道作為家裡的屬靈引導。
‧我將忠於自己的妻子，愛她，尊重她，願為她捨命，如同耶穌基督為我捨命。
‧我將祝福我的孩子，教他們盡心，盡意，儘力愛神。
‧我將教導他們尊重權威，併負責任地生活。
‧我將對抗邪惡，行公義，好憐憫。
‧我將為他人禱告，存善良，尊重，惻隱之心對待他們。
‧我將勤勉工作，提供家人的需要。
‧我將饒恕那些曾經傷害我的人，並與曾被我傷害的人和解。
‧我將從我的錯誤中學習，從我的罪中悔改，在凡事上誠實地回應神。
‧我將努力尋求榮耀神，忠心服事教會，聽從神的教導，行出神的心意。
‧我將勇敢地靠著神賜的力量，為著榮耀神而努力在我的餘生履行此約。
至於我和我的家，必要事奉耶和華 (約書亞記24：15)

順便附上勇氣之名的一小段片頭吧～！
