The Father’s Child-Training Program

The 9/4/22 message by Elder Gowens considers Hebrews 12:4-17. Divine chastening does not always mean correction for sinful conduct or attitudes. In fact, the word padeia (the basis of our word "pediatrics") refers to child-training and child-development. The believer needs the big-picture perspective of the Father's child-training program when facing the trials of life. God works to sanctify His children so that they might develop in holiness. This is message #47 in the Hebrews study.
