Train Up A Child

I think we have a problem.

What Tiger Woods did was no big deal…

I think I know a solution.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go,

And when he is old he will not depart from it. Ephesians 6:4

And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the

training and admonition of the Lord.

And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath,

but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Proverbs 1:8-9 (NKJV) 8 My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother;

9 For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck.

See also Proverbs 6:20 - 23

And you, fathers,

do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up

in the training and admonition of the Lord.

And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath,

but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Luke 2:52 (NKJV) And Jesus increased

in wisdom and stature, And in favor

with God and men.

And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath,

but bring them up

in the training and admonition of the Lord.

1. Training through Correction – Heb. 12:5ff2. Training through Punishment – Luke 23:163. Training Through Law – Galatians 3:24-254. Training through Grace – Titus 2:125. Training through Authority – Eph. 6:1-36. Training through Tribulation – 2 Cor. 6:97. Training through Judgment – 1 Tim 1:20

So, What?

• Hebrews 12:1-11 (NKJV) Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. 4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.

So, What?• And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to

you as to sons: "My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; 6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.“ 7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. 9

Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

So, What?

•10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. 11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
