Words of the week

​ 
Jesus said, “he that loves father or mother, more than me isn’t worthy of me.” Meaning if family comes before Him, we cannot serve Him. Matt 10.37.  Some when speaking about a son or daughter who is involved in something that is wrong; will say, “I love and support my child unconditionally.”
 
One should love his child, however if the child is involved in something that will bring damnation; how can you say you love them and not correct them?  Correcting children isn’t hate; correction is love. Jude 22-23.  Heb 12.9
 
A man came to the Lord with a question and Jesus looked upon him in a loving way and said, “there's one thing that you lack, sell all your possessions, take up your cross and follow me. 
Mk 10.17-22
 
The Lord corrected the man, but that rebuke was for his own good.  Let us rebuke wrong; it will save someone. Jas 5.19-20
