Faith Heals

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” 

~ Mark 5:34 (NIV)

Peace?

“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn “‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ ~ Matthew 10:34-36 (NIV)

Treasure His Commands

My son, keep my words
    and treasure up my commandments with you;
2 keep my commandments and live;
    keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;
3 bind them on your fingers;
    write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
    and call insight your intimate friend,

~ Proverbs 7:1-4 (ESV)

Embrace Wisdom

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. ~ Proverbs 1:8-9 (NIV)

Love Each Other Deeply

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. ~ 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV)

Healed

A woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet. Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. He said to her, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs." But she answered him, "Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs." Then he said to her, "For saying that, you may go—the demon has left your daughter." So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone. ~ Mark 7:25-30 (NIV)

Obey Your Parents

8 Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
9 They will be a garland to grace your head
and a chain to adorn your neck.

~ Proverbs 1:8-9 (NIV 1984)

Discipline & Knowledge

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid. ~ Proverbs 12:1 (ESV)

Listen to Your Dad

Your Parents Teach You Because They Love You

Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, ~ Proverbs 1:8 (ESV)

Listen Up!

20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
listen closely to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to a man’s whole body. (NIV 1984)

20 My son, be attentive to my words;
incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Let them not escape from your sight;
keep them within your heart.
22 For they are life to those who find them,
and healing to all their flesh. (ESV)

~ Proverbs 4:20-22

Well-Nurtured Plants

May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars
cut for the structure of a palace; (ESV)

Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,
and our daughters will be like pillars
carved to adorn a palace. (NIV 1984)

~ Psalm 144:12

Father's Command & Mother's Teaching

20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching. 21 Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck. 22 When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you. ~ Proverbs 6:20-22 (ESV)
