2. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Train up means to narrow; also initiate or discipline
Children need boundaries
2
to keep them safe.
They need to know what
they can’t do or where they
can’t go.

3. As they get older, a parent can be less restrictive.
Most of them will then set their own boundaries.
Good parents will train their
3
children to say no to
temptation.
Best by example

4. 4
A parent has to be an adult before he can
raise his children to be mature.
There’s too many 40 year old
children in our culture.
Wanting to hang out
with the boys and
play with their toys

5. 5
7 The rich ruleth over the
poor, and the borrower is
servant to the lender.
That is just how life is.
Excessive debt sets us up for failure.
You are no longer working for yourself and your
family; you are working for your creditors.

6. 6
Strive to manage your own life.
We can’t be dependent and independent both.
Adults stand up and take
responsibility for their
own life.
If you want to make your own decisions,
be ready to live with them.

7. 8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the
rod of his anger shall fail.
7
Vanity is nothing; or only trouble.
The iniquity that many indulge in, is to
control others with their anger.
Bullies will only succeed for
so long, and then their
victims will stand up
against it.

8. 9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for
he giveth of his bread to the poor (weak, thin, needy).
(NIV) 9 A generous man will himself be blessed,
for he shares his food with the poor.
8
We must be led by the
Holy Spirit to know who
the truly needy are.
God knows if he is really needing help.
God knows why he is needing help.

9. 10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out;
yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
9
Proverbs 22 24 Make no friendship with an angry
man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
There is a person we are better off without.
One who is constantly mad, ranting, putting down
That person causes trouble wherever they are.

10. 11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of
his lips the king shall be his friend.
10
Purity of motives and thought (a pure heart) and
gracious words are appreciated by a king.
The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures by Dallas Seminary Facul
Are your thoughts true, honest, just, pure, lovely,
of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy? Phil 4:8
Are your motives for the benefit of others?
Are your words gracious and uplifting?
These traits attract good friends.

11. 12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and
He overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
Good and wise words are upheld by the Lord.
The words of transgressors will not stand.
Transgressors lie, threaten, and entice to sin.
God will overthrow them and their words.
