Puritan Board Freshman
[BIBLE]Proverbs 22:6[/BIBLE]
I know of a few people who, in my mind, were trained up biblically when they were children. They were faithful members of Reformed churches with their families, sat through and participated in daily family devotions, and were disciplined appropriately with spanking. Despite their upbringing, as adults, they consistently behave like unbelievers. This baffles me.
I don't have any specific questions and my thoughts are all disjointed--I would appreciate any help thinking this through.
Perhaps this just goes to show that the "foolishness of preaching" itself does not save. It is God's irresistible grace that draws people to Himself--though He may sometimes use preaching...
