Verde Valley Christian Church Mar 20, 2022 Series: I'm That Fool Title: "I'm Defensive When Corrected" Speaker: Doug Bridge Proverbs 15:5 A fool despises his father's discipline, but a person who accepts correction is sensible. Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord. Proverbs 15:31-33 If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise. If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding. Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom; humility precedes honor.

I don't WANT to be STUPID. Have you completely forgotten this word of hope? It speaks to you as a father t...

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 ...

I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' Proverbs 26:12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them.

I make wrong COMPARISONS 2 Corinthians 10:12 We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves.
