4-10-2017 – A Word to the Wise: Proverbs 22:6 tells us to “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” This training begins at conception. The key to this promise is prayer. The word “depart” is our guide. A child cannot depart from where he does not first arrive. Thus the child must first at some point accept the teaching. The child must first take it into his heart. This is observable. A tree bears fruit. The peach; peach. The pear; pear. One may see it.
