Love Instruction and Knowledge

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.  A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.  A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

Proverbs 12:1-3

Sometimes we do not like people who are trying to give us good advice or instruction on how or why we should do, or even not do something.

The  one who loves and approves of someone giving good instruction, also loves knowledge.

The “Good man” obtains “Favor of the LORD”,  but who is  a good man?  Those who are perfect before God.  Those to whom God calls “Just.”  Those who have believed God concerning what  He says about His only begotten Son, who is Jesus the Christ.

Fruit of the Heart

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.  Luke 6:43-45
