Nancy Lee DeMoss doesn't claim to know everything about running a national radio ministry,

but she does know one important thing.

I know what matters to God is that I have a humble, teachable spirit, that I receive counsel.

You say you're the director of this ministry, that's right, and directors of ministries need people that they're accountable to.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Tuesday, August 18th.

You'll often encounter two opposing ideas about wisdom, the worlds and gods.

But the world's definition is far different than God's definition.

Nancy explained that yesterday, and if you miss the program, you can hear the series,

The Way of Wisdom, at revive our hearts.com.

Well, today she'll continue with some practical examples.

We've been looking at the book of Proverbs and seeing how much practical wisdom it has that applies to,

well, every area of our lives, our work habits, our choice of friends. Let me show you three other areas today that Proverbs has a lot to say about. One is the

area of child rearing. Listen to what Proverbs chapter 29 says. The rod and reproof give wisdom,

but a child left to himself, that is a child who doesn't have correction and reproof and

discipline, brings shame to his mother.

So discipline your son, and he will give you rest.

He will give delight to your heart.

Some of you have young children, and I hope that you're

reading the wisdom of God's word and not being unduly influenced by the wisdom of the world,

which would say, let your children make those decisions. Let them have those choices. Don't correct,

don't discipline. Of course, some of us are the product of a whole generation of Dr. Spockites,

where parents were told if you discipline your children, you'll warp their personality, you'll harm their character.
