Series: I'm That Fool
Title: "I Don't Like Discipline"
Speaker: Jim Hammond

Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.

I. I have DISORDERED desires

CHOCOLATE 🍫 

Hebrews 12:11
No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

II. Because my desires are often OUT OF ORDER

1 Corinthians 6:12-13
"I have the right to do anything," you say—but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"—but I will not be mastered by anything. You say, "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both." The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

WE don’t like discipline!

III. My disordered desires resist CORRECTION

Proverbs 15:5
A fool despises his father's discipline, but a person who accepts correction is sensible.

Proverbs 12:1
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but one who hates correction is stupid.

IV. But REPENTING restores GOOD NEWS.

Revelation 3:19
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
