“New life begins at home…One can do heroic battle in the public arena but loose the war in the privacy of the home. The family is where, under the Lordship of Christ, we learn to control our anger, rage, abusive language, and lying so that peace might reign. The family is where we first learn to work out the values of ‘compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience’ (3:12) There is no more difficult a place to exercise these virtues day in and day out than in the home… Parents are to discipline their children in ways that will encourage and guide them into courageous and hopeful living.” (NIV Application Commentary – Colossians, 262,267)

Ending Lyrics:
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin
Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky

QUOTE:
“Sin blinds, and because it does, the sin inside me keeps me from seeing me with clarity. Sin is self-excusing and self-aggrandizing. Sin is self-righteous and other-blaming. Sin is self-atoning; it easily rationalizes away my wrongs. Sin allows me to feel all right about what God says is very wrong. The personal sight system that God wired into every human being has been terribly broken by sin. We just do not know ourselves well. And we just don’t see ourselves with the clarity necessary to assess who we are and how well we are doing. We all suffer from spiritual blindness. We live most of the time blind to our blindness. So we all need help. It comes to us in the gift of God’s Word. Empowered by the convicting ministry of the Holy Spirit, it is the universe’s most accurate mirror. Stan in from of it and you will see yourself as you really are. The diagnostic accuracy of the Bible is perfect. An effective cure is always attached to an accurate diagnosis.” -(Paul David Tripp, New Morning Mercies, June 4)
