The thesis of the book of Proverbs is, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." In this powerful and timely message, Dr. Baucham puts the heart of Christian parents into words. He accurately describes what so many parents desire for their children. However, he diagnoses a severe problem with how they try to attain these goals and reveal their true heart concerning God's sovereignty when things don't go as planned.

He begins with an overview of some points discussed in earlier messages in this series. Firstly, the Book of Proverbs is not a book of law. He wants us to have the correct view of the book, so he clarifies that the book is an observation of how things tend to be. There are no promises or guarantees found in this book. The four points discussed in the previous message apply here; they are as follows:

• Wisdom is not law.
• The difference between indicative and imperative.
• Christ is The Wise Son of Proverbs.
• The New Testament interprets the Old Testament.
In a time when children are suffering, we should note the reason for their suffering. They are being raised without instruction. Let us listen, go to the scripture, and see if these things are so, then apply rightly the word of God. Our goal in seeing our children walk in righteousness is that Christ might have the fullness of the reward for which He died.
