Dear son,
"Cease listening, my son, to discipline, and you will stray from the words of knowledge."
(Pro-Verbs 19:27)
"...discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things since it holds promise for the PRESENT life and also for the LIFE TO COME." (I Timothy 4:7-8)
"Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech (what you say), conduct (how you act), love (what your motivation is), faith (what you believe) and purity, (what you allow in your life), show yourself an example of those who believe." (I Timothy 4:12)
The word discipline means to practice naked...unencumbered as your train for the race.
As of this writing...it is Father's Day. As a Father...along with Brenda my wife...we poured into our son...life lessons, love, discipline, correction, etc. If Phillip listens...and does...he will not stray from our words of love. However there comes a time when he must DISCIPLINE HIMSELF...for the purpose of godliness.
My Father's Day prayer is that seed planted will grow and bear fruit.
I love you son.
Dad
