I like how the Bible shows us the connection between the heart and our speech. We are told in Proverbs 4:23 to keep our heart. This world is geared to take our hearts from purity and fix it on many sorts of uncleanness and so we need to be the more so zealous to stay clean. Only then will blessings come out when we "hammer our thumbs"
Light.
deal with those who oppress the poor and give to the rich.
God is good!
Hosea 4:6
I knew not that the only and every 4 relationships in my life would be seriously abusive...There is a lack of man in many many men today.Better for me to be alone.
2. This parable also gives Christian parents that have witness our children being saved at a young age and bringing them up in the nurture and admonition of the lord ( Ephesians 6:4) and have to try to create a godly environment in the home a much needed inspiration;
3. Enrolling our children in a good Christian school and being active in a good bible believing church enhances this godly environment;
4. This is important because we as parents need to recognize our children as an investment not only for our good, but for their good future here on earth and for all eternity;
5. Proverbs 22:6 tells us to bring up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart far from it;
6. This is the advantage that believers who have created an environment as I have described above have over believers and non-believers that have not or do not participate in bringing up a child the way they should go according to God's holy word;
7. This father most obviously did bring up both boys in the nurture and admonition of the lord to get results like this;
8. A life time of being faithful to God's truth came home to roost;
9. God always honors faithfulness in being obedient to his holy scriptures, commandments, precepts, principals, and statutes;
10. It is never too late to get started, but the longer we wait the more difficult it can be;
11. Earlier is better than later, but later is better than never.
