RETURN TO THE ABBEY – TRAIN UP – חנך Diary Entry #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.” If you are anyway remotely involved in your churches children’s work you will most likely hear someone quote this verse as your incentive to teach...
