Family Government & Sexual Sin - Proverbs 6:20-35

The Scripture declares in Psalm 19:7-8: “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.”

If a parent loves their child – they will uphold the law and word of God in their home. Because as the passage says – the law is a light (v.23). It reveals what is right and what is wrong. It plays a part in the conversion of the soul. Reproofs of instruction (as it says in v.23) – in other words – repercussions or penalties for ones misbehavior for failing to follow mothers and fathers instruction – are part of family government – and they point children to the way of life.
