Guarding Our Fortress

"A strong city have we: he sets up walls and ramparts to protect us." Isaiah 26:1b


Whatever you see, whatever you hear, whatever you read, becomes a part of you. Our minds are like the hard drive of a computer and there is no delete button. Protect the fortress of your mind. Be discerning about what you allow to enter it. Ask God to strengthen you when you are tempted to see, hear or read something that may cause you to sin or not become the good person you were meant to be.
  God's Word says:
  Finally, my brothers, your thoughts should be wholly directed to all that is true, all that deserves respect, all that is honest, pure, admirable, decent, virtuous, or worthy of praise.
 

On Disciplining Children

Disciplining children is like putting braces on their teeth. It's easier to deal with straightening the teeth when they are young and pliable than to deal with deformed teeth as an adult.


Train a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not swerve from it. Proverbs 22:6
