Most of us are familiar with the proverb: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” But we all know kids who were raised in church and, yet, have walked away from God. What went wrong? Did their parents miss something? Did God fail to keep His Word? Do we have a parental guarantee that our children will always walk with God? Also in today's post: As we start the book of Esther, we'll look at what God was up to, and the un-fairy-tale-like ending for the other young virgins taken as "potential queen for a night." And from Romans, we'll read about God's warning to us concerning the danger of self-righteously judging others. So, as you can see there's a lot to talk about in these passages.
As January comes to an end and the second month of the year begins, many of us will be examining the goals and resolutions we made just a few weeks ago. We'll examine our progress (or lack of it) concerning a new diet, exercise plan, or some other goal. If we're in school, we take examinations to test our proficiency in those subjects. And when it comes to our health, we get numerous examinations and tests to ensure we stay as healthy as we can. But how many of us take the time to examine the most important thing, our spiritual health?
How should we view church authority? Should we submit to our church leaders? What is our responsibility? And how does God use these truths "to watch out for our souls"? We'll also look at the danger of pride in our own achievements and how we should view helping the poor, including when we should not help.
