Not What You Say, but How You Say It
File this in “Things I never thought about before I had children.”
As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. Proverbs 25:12
- God cares HOW I correct and instruct my children.
- I am not a wise reprover by default.
- There is a relationship between a wise reprover and an obedient child.
- I suspect even the most obedient child will have difficulty responding to an unwise reprover.
- I suspect even the most difficult child will respond better to a wise reprover.
Guess I know what I need to pray about today.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my
blog, but my greatest desire for my audience is that they would be
inspired and motivated to search the Scriptures for themselves. God promises to give wisdom to any believer who searches for it His way. Here are some
Bible study links I have found of interest and help.
Chronological Bible: ESV
Read the Bible chronologically. The first time I read through the
Bible in the order everything happened, I learned so much and gained
an incredible understanding of the big picture of Scripture. If
you've never done it, you should!
Bible Gateway
From this website you can search for scriptures in a number of
versions and languages by key words, phrases, or references. I use
this website often when I post Scripture on my blog, so then I don't
have to worry about typing in the verse accurately.
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
This is a fantastic online version of
a classic reference tool. Basically this is a list of cross
references based on particular passages. Simply click on the verse or
passage you are studying, and you will find other references to other
relevant Scripture.
Bible Commentaries Online
A list of classic Bible commentaries. Sometimes they're hard to
understand, but they can be helpful when you're wanting more insight
into a passage you are studying.
More Bible Study Resources
This is a page of links for articles and audio on the topic of
studying the Bible. Some are not easy to read, but they are helpful.
The rest of this website has a tremendous amount of resources that
may be of interest.

You and me both, friend.
Only about a week left (I haven’t been here in a little while, and was delightfully surprised to see the counter!)–I feel your anticipation. Aren’t separations like this so instructive regarding our eagerness to “keep looking up”?

Well….. his return date has been moved back a week or so. I don’t know how to change the counter.
You are absolutely right about separation as an illustration of our separation from our Savior. I should be just as eager to see Jesus.
