Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jesus Christ. John 1:17
My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord
My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction

My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction

Proverbs 3:1 – 3:35

  1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
  2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
  3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
  4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
  5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
  6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
  7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
  8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
  9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
  10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
  11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
  12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.
  13 Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding.
  14 For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
  15 She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
  16 Length of days [is] in her right hand; [and] in her left hand riches and honour.
  17 Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths [are] peace.
  18 She [is] a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy [is every one] that retaineth her.
  19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
  20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
  21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
  22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
  23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
  24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
  25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
  26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
  27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do [it].
  28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
  29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
  30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
  31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
  32 For the froward [is] abomination to the Lord: but his secret [is] with the righteous.
  33 The curse of the Lord [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
  34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
  35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
