Summary

Welcome to Teachback Tuesday, where we play the most popular episodes from previous seasons. This week's episode, "Don't Correct a Scorner," prompted emails, messages, and thousands of downloads. We are not the first people to have loved ones who are rejecting God, disregarding biblical living, and engaging in behaviors that cause a loss of sleep for those who love them. If you have a scorner in your life, this episode is for you. When it comes correcting a scorner, the Bible says "reprove not." That's Bible for "Don't."

0:00.0	Welcome to Teach Back Tuesday, where we play the most popular episodes from previous seasons.
0:05.3	This week's episode, Don't Correct a Scorner, is from the first season of the Keep
0:10.2	the Heart podcast. And sometimes what happens is when we're trying to handle stressful situations
0:16.1	with people, it really reveals a lot about us. This episode prompted a lot of emails and a lot of downloads.
0:24.6	I think we definitely struck a chord with this one because so many of us have relationships that have
0:30.6	issues going on. But do you know what? When we become pushy or nagging or burst out into
0:37.3	emotional arguments, it looks like we've got weak
0:41.0	faith. It also looks like we don't believe God is able to deliver people. Is there a scorner in your

1:30.0	Sharing lessons from the Word of God is her passion. Now, back to today's important study. A scorner is someone who makes a mock of sin and the judgments and
1:40.8	threatenings of God against sinners. So in other words, they're mocking the Bible,
1:45.6	they're mocking Christianity, and they've arrived at the conclusion that none of these things have
1:50.5	any value, so they're going to create their own value system. Lectures really backfire in a case
1:57.5	like this because the Bible has already told us that we're not to reprove a scorner.
2:03.2	The biblical guideline for reproving a scorner can be summed up really in one word. Don't.
