Background

I am catching up on Francis Chan’s message during the recent “Altar Conference” in Fresno, California.

Francis Chan

Francis was speaking out of Hebrew 12.

God Disciplines His Children

Hebrew 12:4-6
Link

⁴ In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. ⁵ And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,

Quick Point

1. Speaks of resisting sins
2. Encouragement
   • It is the Father speaking to a Son
3. Discipline
   • Do not make light of the Lord’s discipline
   • Yet, do not lose heart
   • Lord’s discipline is borne out of Love
   • It is borne out of his acceptance of you as his son

Guidance for the Young ( Proverbs 3 )

Anchor

Hebrews 12:4-6 is anchored on Proverbs 3:11-12

Proverbs 3

1. Proverbs 3:1-2
   • My son, do not forget my law,
     But let your heart keep my commands;
     And peace they will add to you.
2. Proverbs 3:3-4
   • Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
     Write them on the tablet of your heart,
     ⁴ And so find favor and high esteem
     In the sight of God and man.
3. Proverbs 3:5-6
   • Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
     And lean not on your own understanding;
     ⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him,
     And He shall direct your paths.
4. Proverbs 3:7-8
   •  Do not be wise in your own eyes;
     Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
     ⁸ It will be health to your flesh,
     And strength to your bones.
5. Proverbs 3:9-10
   • Honor the Lord with your possessions,
     And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
6. Proverbs 3:11-12
   • My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
     Nor detest His correction;
     ¹² For whom the Lord loves He corrects,
     Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
7. Proverbs 3:21-26
   • Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
     And will keep your foot from being caught.
8. Proverbs 3:27-30
   • Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
     When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
     ²⁸ Do not say to your neighbor,
     “Go, and come back,
     And tomorrow I will give it,”
     When you have it with you.
     ²⁹ Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
     For he dwells by you for safety’s sake.
     ³⁰ Do not strive with a man without cause,
     If he has done you no harm.
9. Proverbs 3:31-35
   • Do not envy the oppressor,
     And choose none of his ways;
     But His secret counsel is with the upright.
     But He blesses the home of the just.
     But gives grace to the humble.
     ³⁵ The wise shall inherit glory,
     But shame shall be the legacy of fools.
