July 13.00: Light For the Day - "Correcting Mistakes"

-- Proverbs 28:13 (NCV)
"If you hide your sins, you will not succeed.
If you confess and reject them, you will receive mercy."

Nguoi nao dau toi loi minh se khong duoc may man;
nhung neu ai xung no ra va lia bo no, se duoc thuong xot.

------------------
Do-it-yourself Christianity is not much
encouragement to the done in and worn our.
Self-sanctification holds little hope for the addict. ...

At some point we need more than good advice; 
we need help. Somewhere on this journey home
we realize that fifty-fifty proposition is too little. 
We need more ...

We need help. Help from the inside out. ...
Not near us. Not above us. Not around us.
But in us. In the part of us we don't even know. 
In the heart no one else has seen. In the hidden
recesses of our being dwells, not an angel,
not a philosophy, not a genie, but God.

-- Max Lucado

-- Revelation 3:19 (NIV)
"Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.
So be earnest, and repent.
Here I stand at the door and knock.
If any one hears my voice and opens the door, 
I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me."

-- Proverb 15:32,33 (NLB)
" you reject criticism, you only harm yourself;
but if you listen to correction, 
you grow in understanding.
Fear of the LORD teaches a person to be wise;
humility precedes honor."

-- Proverb 10:17 (NLB)
"People who accept correction are on the path to life,
but those who ignore it will lead others astray."
