Every Child Is An Individual
September 13, 2017
Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." The Hebrew word “way” is a word that is used in the Bible to mean “the bending of a bow." Have you ever seen a bow? It has a natural bend in it.
Let me give you a loose translation. Train up a child in the way that he is bent. You see, all children come into the world with a natural bent. All children are not the same.
If you are a parent, God gave you a special child. In his frame is hidden a one-of-a-kind blend of divine, innate talents and God-given spiritual gifts. It is up to you to train up that child as an individual. Your child is a rare, creative individual with the thumbprint of God upon his life. Your job is to tap into that child with the creative wisdom of God.

Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
