I would like to ask you a question, why has your religion forbid direct communication with the spirits of our loved one's? "Afterlife Investigation's: Scole Group Experiments" Why has your religion forbid this?
The second wisest man the world has ever known said : "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." ~ Ecclesiastes 12:13
Fearing God is a deep reverence and respect for God. The fear of God is respecting Him, obeying Him, submitting to His discipline, and worshiping Him in awe.
@@DecarloThorntonNo brother! It’s more cowardly to know the truth and be scared to submit to the creator. Don’t let people of the world take you off the path Of Jesus Christ ✝️
Much love from South Africa, you are doing alot for me and calming me down I've been through the worst year of my life till this point and I'm hanging on by a thread and your videos have been so calming and helping, thank you sir
I hate my sins so much! There's sins that i keep committing over and over, and i hate it. My flesh is weak, but i won't give up on turning from those sins. I've been praying for strength and forgiveness and deliverance. Please pray for me 😢
Turning from sin to conquer our flesh is not Biblically sound doctrine. Even the thought of foolishness is sin ‘Proverbs 24:9. Believing the Gospel found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is sound doctrine.
The fact that you are penitent is the right path, if you didn't care then I'd start to worry. We will sin till the day we die, talk to our Lord he will guide you, you need to walk up the mountain, not sprint.
Galatians 5:16 "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Believe that the Lord can AND will deliver you out of your struggles. Mark 11:24 "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." It will be done in accordance for His will for you.
Thank you Dewayne. I’m female from Uk and you really speak to me in the way I need it. Started with horse channel (no horses 😂) but I’m here because of Christ having found me irrespective. Don’t stop doing this. In the pure way you do.
I also started with the horses channel,. Just soaking up life advice. And i just could sense there was something special about Uncle. I could tell he had the fear of God even without him preaching. So, it was not too much of a surprise to me when he started a Christian channel. Nice to meet you
For many years I was a Christian, but found myself beyond victory over my sins that I kept on going back to. But all that changed when I became serious, and started reading my Bible every day. I set apart the first of my day to be with God in prayer, and the reading of his word. Before I dedicated myself to that, I really did not like reading very often, sometimes I would read a book, but then I would go a long time without doing so. I don't read very fast, so it takes me a long time to absorb what I read and that might be a reason why I was always hesitant. But after reading the Bible through in a year, and then many times more now through the New Testament, Proverbs, and Psalms. I have noticed a leap in spiritual growth within me and a greater cognizance of the presence of God, also greater faith. I know firsthand God's faithfulness, and I can see how Jesus has always been there in my life chasing after me. Thanks for the lesson on the fear of God. That has always been a confusing thing to get my head around because most people don't even know what that means entirely. Have you ever read The Cost of Discipleship, by Dietrich Bonhoeffer?
Hey DeWayne, I've had many people argue that to fear God just means to being in awe of him. I tell them they can have awe by seeing Mount Rushmore. But Jesus spoke about fearing God in context of don't forget who can drop you into hell. That's the one you should fear.
We left our assembly a year and a half ago, much for the same reasons you gave. Didn't leave with hard feelings or arguments, just felt like we needed to get out. We have started meeting in our home with another couple and our children and it has been good to have the fellowship and worship together again. I absolutely agree that there is little to zero repentance on churches today. I've even heard it said by people in church that if you repent after you're saved, you are relying on works to save you. A healthy fear of God leads us to repentance. A healthy fear of His judgement and knowing we will stand in front of Him someday and give an account of our life will cause us to want to clean up our lives and get the junk out. Thanks again for sharing this!
I am super new to Christianity and submitting to god. Within the past week. I have done so much work diligently and obsessively on myself to be the best man I can be for myself but more importantly for others. I’ve felt so much pain in the last 3 years at the same time. It’s been a fight for survival to be quite frank. I came to a point in which despite all of my efforts I lost my optimism and hope a week ago. I felt myself slipping from what I had built myself up to be. I’ve been met with a lot of rejection and betrayal through an ex lover and with people in general throughout my life but I never chose to be jaded. I always chose to love more and to keep on trying to keep on giving everything I had. Well in the past week I chose to submit myself to god in private. I know that the Bible mentions to not be ashamed of faith. I want to keep it to myself while I nourish it though. I truly believe that faith is exactly what I need and quite possibly the only thing I need to free myself of the above after 33 years of life. So with all of this being said I truly appreciate your videos as they are not embellished. It’s taken straight from scripture. I have watched all of your videos within this week and I am so grateful for them. Thank you 🙏🏼
Awesome. Please don’t be discouraged. Discouragement is a big weapon of the enemy and he will attack you at some point. If you feel discouraged remember it is not from God and pray fiery destruction over the hand of the devil sent to attack your life. I have learned this from personal experience. May Jesus Christ be with you.
@@percy3711 Thank you so much for the kind words. What you mentioned about discouragement being a weapon of the devil makes a lot of sense. It truly does feel like a battle consistently pulling you in both directions but if I think about it I choose to let the devil pull me in his direction in my weakest moments. Discouragement and hopelessness is in his direction. So I am so thankful to know whose direction I can choose to go in. In gods direction. I know the pain, it was real in my life so it’s the familiarity that pulls me toward it. I’m choosing to go toward the faith in those moments now. It’s truly restored so much hope that I have been seeking for so long. Anyways, I know I am overflowing but I truly appreciate the kind words.
It is really, really great and priceless that you finally are shifting your eyes to God, where they should look as a matter of fact. We are flesh and bones, because of this, rejections and that sort of challenges will blow us and it is painful. You know what the Savior Jesus Christ ( Yeshua)said, " Let not your heart be troubled , believe in God and believe also in me" . What he meant is there will be an end to our hurt and pain, what we should keep in our heart is the hope of the Almight God. The Lord is our light and our salvation ( Psalm 28), God will bring us to his light and the peace of God that we have when we put our trust in Him will help us to bear all the pain in this life. The God of heaven will support us and guide us safely to our heavenly place in Jesus Christ. So May the Lord help you and guide you. God bless.
God bless you and be gentle on yourself as you continue in being kind to others remember to give yourself positive Pat's on your back. Jesus loves us and will continue to guide you. Be true and kind to you. 🙏💞
Amen. For most people today, their God is one of convenience (love). The biblical God is all: love, right, and just. I especially appreciate how you called out that most people today have not done the work to read, study, understand, and embrace the Word. I admire how you rebuke the sin of lust so practically and in His honor. I respect that you will NOT attend a service where the pastor does NOT have the fear of the Lord. Thank you for your videos. They feed my soul in a practical way. In His glory, brother ... keep preaching! Peace.
Great message! The fear of God is truly missing in much of the Modern American Church. I've certainly been one. Thank you for sharing. We become what/who we behold. If we fear the sin, that is what we behold. But if we fear God. Then that is what we Behold. Ley us keep our eyes on Jesus. :)
My father taught me a long time ago regarding sin and pride that were more deep and inward outward " if we fear God we wouldn't worship an earthly country more than his heavenly kingdom and country and exchange it for any country - USA or any country . The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Amen .Thank you .
Fear of repercussions has saved my life numerous times. I have even been extremely high on psychedelic drugs and was concerned about the repercussions enough to do the right thing.
Every day I pray to God that I do not live today in self-delusion or ignorance of His will and expectations. One pragmatic concept I use to keep myself from becoming a prideful "know it all" is the concept of the Dunning Kruger Effect, where you're so prideful in your own intelligence that you ignore all critique and wander in a horrifying state of unrepentant ignorance. God has been absurdly kind in putting up with my decade of hedonistic atheism. There is nothing that terrifies me than losing the faith or favor that Jesus Christ gifted me with. Me and the woman I love are seeking a church that respects God and His word as sacred ends. Everything you've spoken about is absolutely true to a point where both of us pray before we take any step inside and outside our homes.
Thank you Dwayne, Well said; Matthew 10:28 KJV "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." I share your concern for assemblies which are led by individuals who are more terrified to face the displeasure of man than the displeasure of God. I believe that “Therein lies the problem”. One cannot fear a God whom he cannot see if his heart has been captured by the "fear of man" whom he can see. Galatians 1:10 KJV "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ". For the church to live in the actual fear of God it will first need to find deliverance from the fear of man. Proverbs 29:25 KJV "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe". May God grant "me" the grace day by day to live true to my own exhortation for herein have I failed and repented with Godly sorrow many times. To overcome I shall keep my eyes on Jesus and not man. Thank you!
I love this! Thanks for sharing. The fear of the lord is the secret to your prayer life, the secret to your financial stability, the secret to the wellness of your mind, and it’s the secret to a happy marriage, and I could go on and on. Nothing is more important in life than fearing the Lord. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man! People do not keep his commandments, because they do not fear God. My whole life changed when I started fearing the Lord, obeying his commandments and reading my bible daily. I'm truly blessed now because of it. ❤
Man this hits home. All these motivational books these days are self serving, thank God for the Bible for being our ultimate source of wisdom! Thanks for reminding us the awesomeness of biblical manhood because it is truly a beautiful thing when a man is strong and leads. Great reminder to chew on!
Thank you again for bringing us your intimate knowledge of scripture for us men hungry for righteous living. You're a true blessing for us men that don't have a real spirit of strength. God knew what he was doing. Thank you God
Listening to you share about focusing on Christ, I was reminded of the old hymn (and I'm tearing up a bit as I type this): "O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness, you see? There's light for a look at the Savior and life more abundant and free... TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS, LOOK FULL IN HIS WONDERFUL FACE AND THE THINGS OF EARTH WILL GROW STRANGELY DIM, IN THE LIGHT OF HIS GLORY AND GRACE."
I joined a church I had longed to join for several years. After working 4 years as a Covid travel RN, I was able to join. The first thing I received on my phone from the church was a link to join a MLM business. The pastor's sister, who also works in the church office uses the church on Tuesday nights to sign people up for her MLM business. I received 2 additional texts regarding MLM meetings. I had a vision of Jesus tearing that church up with a bullwhip. I am so discouraged and sad that the church has come to this. I cannot be a part of this fellowship. 😭
During covid I read the 1689 Westminster Confessional which was written by men who could have been put to death for writing it. Let that sink in. It defines and explains God’s bible in the clearest way man could explain at the time. Remember in 1689 the KJV had not been out long and people were just learning what God had said in the bible. What I drew from this book was how magnificent, holy, righteous and powerful our God is! How much He is utterly worthy of our worship and yes fear. He actually became GOD sized to me and with this revelation I realized how our modern church is all consumed with HOW TO and WHAT TO and has completely missed WHO TO and WHY TO. I am also adrift without a church building, but not without my God or faith as I wait for “wise” worshipers. I know others are out there because I see videos like this and I think, this is God willowing us. I need to be patient, God is MAGNIFICENT and I am waiting on HIM. Dwayne these videos are very helpful. Thank you
For some of us we didn’t have an earthly father and it’s not about fear for me it’s ignorance there was no one there to teach me thank you for your kind words always
I’ve studied Marcus Arelious teaching myself how to be a father a man a better person wisdom of the ages I can’t read but there’s plenty of videos right here on the Skagit I’m self-taught forced to be God’s will is his own
D’Wayne, I fear God and I am battling with the cravings of the flesh. My biggest issue is getting to know people, and I pray about it everyday. My past hasn’t presented me with very great influences and I am afraid of being that bad influence for my fellow Christian brother’s / sister’s. After highschool I used to smoke weed every single day, a habbit that I have realised ruined my life. I have no self control over the cravings of the flesh, but I am rounding the corner of being a month sober. My faith in Christ and fear of God is the only thing keeping me from breaking, as well as your video’s. Although I have such a strong feeling that I need to connect with my church leaders more, and confess my sins, this fear of getting to know people haunts me everyday.
Good on you for your month of sobriety from weed. I was also a daily all day smoker for 10 plus years but the Lord helped me get away from it. It gets much easier believe me. Be careful of getting to know people, a lot of people in church buildings are wolves in sheep's clothing. Christ often wants us in isolation. I learn more from people like Dewayne and others online than I ever could from a church building.
Hey I used to be a stoner for years and recently fell back into the habit and weed is the number one reason you struggle with the flesh, especially sexual immorality and I realized that because I also kept falling back into this struggle with my sin As long as you realize that you don't lose your salvation everytime you sin, but also that you are sowing death into your life. You need to let go of the selfish desires of your heart and seek the will of God and ask for a pure heart.
Keep it up. The closer your relationship is with God the less sin is a factor. We are all sinful but I find the more I pray and keep in open communication the less I want or feel like sinning. 1st month is the hardest when quitting; after the 3rd month only problems make you want to return to that lifestyle
I think your 100 percent right, no fear, most people only look at one character of GOD that’s love, so most people think they can act anyway they want, no fear. Also people put their trust in others and not what God said about things. Dewayne probably won’t see this, but I have really enjoy your teaching on this new platform.
I greatly appreciate this video. I look forward to others like it. I agree all wisdom comes from God, but I think sometimes it takes a man like you explaining it for a man like me to have it click.
Listening further to your message, Dwayne. Mom and Dad and I are the last remaining members of our congregation. We meet every weekend in the living room and hold service. No strange doctrine or ritual, just the order of worship followed by communion. A remembrance of Christ's sacrifice as comanded. All are welcome! Come meet with us if you ever pass threw Ohio.
Thank you Dwayne, I needed to hear this! I'm a long time viewer, drinker of wrangler coffee. I'm a retired police officer, broken down cowboy. I suffer from severe ptsd and your videos help me so much! Thank you so much God bless you and your family
Thank you for doing this. I think you're representing a Godly dad that a lot of us (including me) didn't have. My dad pretended to be Godly for a long time and then suddenly switched to showing his true colors all at once and it was traumatic for my whole family. Its a shame because he had that "fearful dad" energy that could have been godly, he made us act right but it wasnt about having Godly kids it was about getting praise from other adults about how well behaved his kids were. Its oddly comforting to listen to someone with that masculine authority who wouldnt cut you down but would also tell you how it is with no sugar coating. I know lots of other people have had worse fathers than mine too. All us children of failed fathers need this.
My parents disciplined us. But there was a difference in the way each one did it. At that time parents used a swat on the backside. My daddy did. My dad was a hard working man that took his family responsibilities seriously. But what I remember most were the "talks" when I did something I shouldn't have. I would look at his tired, weary face and see the disappointment and sadness at what I had done. So I grew up with a fear of disappointing, disrespecting and dishonoring him. I was looking forward to this topic DeWayne. You did not disappoint. Thank you.
Thanks for this wisdom today sir it's like how the TV was made for example if you watch the TV and the things you view on the TV their programming you to do wrong instead of right in today's life their making it seem like good is bad and bad is good and this is in the bible we are in the book of revelations for these things will come to pass. But remember this verse Proverbs 11:8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. Meaning seek God and you will be saved from evil and the wicked will be put in your place instead.
Thank you sir, fear is such a misunderstood term these days, and your reminder is absolutely needed! Some of us can't weep anymore because it hurts too much but that don't mean we don't need too
So much love from a young Italian guy for this channel. I come here after watching some of your videos on Dry Creek Wrangler School and this channel just like the other one is a breath of fresh air in a world that is increasingly dirty and corrupt. Dwayne without knowing it you are helping me get through a difficult period in my life and you are making me rediscover faith after years of doubts and unhealthy atheist friendships. God bless you and the genuine American spirit that I have been looking for for a long time
Brother I cannot thank you enough for this video. I’ve been battling the same struggles and I’ve known in my heart for a while that the root of my problem is a lack of fear of the Lord. It’s so difficult because I know in my mind the problem but I can’t transfer that knowledge a foot downward into my heart enough to actually make a real change in my behavior. It’s one of those “simple but not easy” kinda things. But I appreciate you confirming this for me and I thank God for you and your ministry. I’m looking forward to learning more from you sir. Thank you again and God bless you Dewayne.
I find it hard to fear God, not because I think he is weak or not worth fearing, but I know how much he genuinely and truly loves us. Its hard to fear my lord when I know he only has love for me,
There's a healthy kind of fear. Dwayne in this video brought up the practical examples of a child fearing to disappoint their dads, not an abusive manner where it's to avoid wrath as the end, but a fear of the Lord because you love and respect Him, especially in an act of gratitude realizing you and all mankind wouldn't exist without Him. Realize that we are talking about the God that created objective reality that made us in HIS image.
Our Lord God is a vengeful, jealous God also. If you take his name and then continue to not fear Him, He will rejoice in your destruction just as well as He rejoiced in the day you were found. Fear Him
Self righteousness can and will lead to not having the fear of God, that's what I experienced along with no wholehearted repentance or tears ,to my own shame ive been very unwise but not anymore praise be to God alone. ( I would strongly recommend listening to this message more than once. ) Glory to God.
I found your main channel and enjoyed the heart to heart talks. Can’t lie and say I care too much about horses. But this is by far the best channel RU-vid has to offer me. Thank you for doing it. Praise be to God
May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to bless you and your family as well as all and any endeavors you undertake. Stay in His Word and continue to stay on the straight and narrow Way. God bless you.
Amen brother! To those who are deceived into thinking that to fear the LORD is simply to reverence and/or respect God: The LORD is again and again described as terrible, in Deuteronomy and in Hebrews God is called a consuming fire, when Jesus Christ returns the blood of His enemies will be as high as a horses bridal, and the mightiest men on earth will hide in fear, and beg the mountains to fall on them, so that they don't have to face God, Philippians 2:12 says to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, and there are countless more examples throughout the scriptures that should cause anyone who reads it to have a fear of the LORD that is unrivaled! And ALL who don't fear God as they ought to right now can count on the fact that they will come to fear God later. The trembling fear of the LORD is where your salvation begins, and as your relationship with God grows stronger and more intimate your reverence and respect for Him will be added to your fear of Him.
I don't consider myself a Christian by any means because of my life's experiences. My father is Catholic & has brought me to church several times in the past when I was barely able to recall the details. There were times in my youth where I tried to get back into it & was never able to. I also see how my life turned out & just never got called to that sort of thing. I've watched one of Dewayne's videos on forgiveness & applied that principle to God/universe & said that I forgave them for how I was treated in life. & like Dewayne said in that video, "You can forgive but you do not have to accept them back." I forgave, still do not trust God/universe. If I were to look back at them, it's not fear, but rather, "You hate me. I will never make you happy, & you are only out to hurt me." So I just move along my life trying to do the best I can with what I have, fighting & hoping for a better life, while believing that I'm alone on this. I came to this video because I've heard the phrase before & wanted to get some understanding. I heard some parallels to my perspective & life here, so maybe it's a weird way to bring me closer, but it will take a lot of time for any love/trust to come back.
Interesting. Thank you so much for being honest and transparent in your thinking. I value this much more than hollow religious platitudes. When you ask someone what and why they believe something so important and all impactful as an almighty GOD and they just give you back some hollow " Christianeze" malarky...I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. But brave faith can be scary. True believers go into places they do not want to, confident in GOD that he is true and faithful and will see them through. I am encouraged by your strength of introspection and honesty, thank you.
@@saltpeter7429 Thank you for the reply, & thanks for not invalidating me for not going the same route. I have to walk my path & I have to see myself through it. That's how it has to be done.
@@Yrrej8611 right on. That path will lead you to where you need to be. Thanks for communicating with me. I am so darn lonely and detached from the world of the living I spend too much time on RU-vid, lol.
Dear sir thank you for your time this day. I have only subscribed shortly now. You are the first person on RU-vid that when they say we’re going to read this chapter, that I’ve been almost yelled at in the back of my head, “Andy pause this and go get your Bible out right now.” Thank You God for bring this man to my life. Sir you make so much sense. Simple straightforward common sense that Bible study. Amen Jesus.
You said it that explains everything. Thank you for following what the Lord has impressed upon your heart. You done the will of God, I needed that and so do many many others. Thank you Jesus for your message 🙏
After I Listened to the message all the way through, I had to pray and ask the LORD to forgive me, and help me to fear Him, help me to seek Him and His Holiness. I am thankful For this message you shared. I needed it.
Thank you again Dewanye, for hitting the nail on the head. With what I was struggling with, when it came to Fearing ABBA. I was lacking the understanding and now I get it. Peace.
Thanks, Dwayne. I didn't even realize I needed this. Almighty God has hit me with a sledgehammer, which is nothing compared to what he can do. Surely, He is using you to speak to us. Take care of yourself. God willing, maybe we can have a cup of coffee and a cigar sometime. I have a lot to learn.
Brother Dewayne, I think you nailed it. I grew up fearing my dad because he was hard on me. Now that I'm a man I now realize why he was hard on me and I'm thankful for him being that way. I also see how this works with God. I'm not perfect, I still sin but not near as much as I did when I was unsaved. I fall into sin, but I don't jump into it. But when I sin I am broken from it because I sinned against God and I have grieved the Holy Spirit and I feel bad about it. Does that mean God stops loving me? No. But I keep in mind, that even though we are saved by the grace of God, does that give us the right to sin? God forbid. Romans 6:14-15. Fear God and always look upon Him. Know that He loves us, even when we sin, but fear Him as in respect Him, but also fear God because He can crush us if He wanted to. We will never do this perfectly, because no one loves and fears God the way He deserves to be feared and loved. We just can't do it. The good news is, God knows it, and since we can't do anything like we should, He sent His only begotten Son to save us. And just to let you know, I do go to church and I do weep at times because I have learned how good God is to save a wretched person like me. Personally, I believe there are many people in church who believe "in" God, but they don't "believe" God. This is why most people don't fear God. God bless you and keep sharing His word.
Well that was well spoken, and what I'd like to humbly add is the 2nd thing that people need to do is: total FORGIVENESS Put those two things together and you'll be on the path to eternal life.
Uncle Dwayne, you uploaded this video just in time! As I was at a point in my life where I constantly struggle with lust, I was looking for the wisdom of a grown man and you gave it to me through God Almighty. I'll take your advice sir. My best regards to you and thank you so much!🙏
Hello Dwayne, I'd like to say I have extreme respect for how adamant you are about only talking about Jesus, such spearheaded faith is needed in this day and age
I completely 1000% agree. The reason I stopped what I was doing when I became a Christ follower is the thought of my daddy coming home and punishing me or being disappointed in me, now elevate that thought when it's time to bring everything before the thorn of our Almighty God. I strive to hear well done good and faithful servant.
I would love to speak to you over the phone or email...im 23 and have been struggling with pornography, lust, anger, alcoholism, and in general every act of sin. I've been feeling the desire and longing to come back to christ and have searched for it. But the truth is I've ever only known him in name only. I've never been a true follower. But I want to change that. I don't even know where to begin. I feel so lost in the sea of sin I've created for myself. I've watched countless videos and channels but since I've found yours its made it seem easier to establish a relationship with him and begin my true faith in Jesus and God. If you are available I'd love to speak with you. God bless you, your videos have really helped me find a footing! If anyone reads this and has advice please comment. Im so sick and tired of this. I live a life if sinfulness and pleasure. I want to quit with every fiber of my being but I feel trapped and feel ill never overcome it. I don't want to die a follower of the world. I want to be embraced in God's glory.
I enjoy your content. I'm learning daily to just watch and keep my mouth shut. People will show you what they are and who they fear. I truly believe that the lack of the fear of God is the biggest issue of today. I'm also seeing that a lot of people are willingly ignorant and refusing to research and study.
Greens translation, brother. I've been raised with it & vouch for it 100%, Sir. Seek a copy out if nothing more than to have it in your library. God bless you and yours. Wm. Aaron Baker.
I grew up in Texas and the men I see I want to be as pious are god fearing men, faithful And blessed with a good career and beautiful families. They're diligent, patient, and their presence is felt and when they speak it's with necessity and meaning. They carry them selves in such a way I would want to carry myself the same. Your words hit me on my journey and I appreciate them. I pray whatever God plans for me I do it gracefully yet carefully To do what's pleasing to god and give my son the tools I didn't have to be the man he needs to be.
Hi Dwayne…yes yes yes!! The pride… the audacity to act on one’s own and doing what one wants to do and not what God wants does come from a lack of fear of God. Same with a lack of fear of their earthly Father… I tried to train all our children up in the Lord and homeschooled also but my husband did not have a fear of God at all and today one of my daughters, the one he had wrapped around his finger, has gone and embraced the pride of this modern agenda in our country, devastating us all by her choices and he abandoned me. Must study the Bible hand in hand with knowledge of the philosophers. Wonder if you are familiar with Robinson Curriculum or Omnibus? Marcus Aurelius was one of the books in Omnibus. I really appreciate those text books so much for studying the Bible and the classics side by side for wisdom and knowledge and fear of the Lord by learning about the rise and fall of men and civilizations. We need a Charlemagne and King Alfred reformation of learning. Two of my favorites. I really appreciate your teaching from Tennessee.
