Godly parents and educators ponder how they can practically help their child turn from being a foolish youth to becoming a wise lover of Christ (Proverbs 1:22-23). Though no parent can transform a child’s spiritual heart, all believing parents are called to discipline their children in wisdom so that God can convert them to be wise (Proverbs 1:8; 13:1). In fact, godly discipline and wisdom should be viewed as inseparable (e.g., Proverbs 1:2; 7-8). Sadly, the beauty and unmatched benefit of biblical discipline has become so perverted by unbiblical and secular influence that not only is ...

It has been stated that a person should study the book of Proverbs if he or she wants to be wise. Accordingly, the book of Proverbs has been organized into thirty-one different chapters. That means that a person can read a chapter in the book each day based upon the numerical date of the month. For example, on the first day of the month, one would read the first chapter in the book of Proverbs. On the second day of the month, he or she would read the second chapter. If a person were to do that for an entire year, then he or she would read the whole book of Proverbs twelve times every year ...

Biblical proverbs are words of wisdom derived from God, and thus they provide us with godly wisdom for daily living. Wisdom involves the appropriate application of information and the most effective utilization of ...
