One Simple Truth
What you teach must be worth keeping.
Scripture
Proverbs 6:20 ESV (Read the Full Chapter Here)
My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching.
Each person is ultimately responsible for their own life and their own soul, but the role of mother and father cannot be understated. How these roles are stewarded have the potential to produce a life that is incredibly blessed or incredibly broken. The admonition is to KEEP your father’s commandment, to NOT FORSAKE your mother’s teaching. If that is the case, which it is, then what you teach must be worth keeping. We will not always get it right, but as we lean into the grace of God He will pour into us something worth pouring into others.
Prayer
Lord, I want to pass on wisdom worth keeping so I ask that You would teach me and instruct me in the right way. In Jesus name, amen.
