Let’s learn the ways of a troublemaker. In this episode, Isaac walks through Proverbs 6:12–15 and shows dads how to teach their families to recognize the worthless man, guard their own hearts, and avoid becoming the kind of person who sows discord.
Solomon describes a wicked man who goes about with crooked speech, winking with his eyes, signaling with his feet, and pointing with his finger. He’s busy, but busy doesn’t equal productive. We talk about the victim mindset, what it is and why it’s so destructive, and how this man blames others, causes conflict with his words, and never sees his own sluggard ways.
With a perverted heart he devises evil and continually sows discord, and calamity comes upon him suddenly, broken beyond healing. If our heart is wrong, our actions sow destruction. We talk with our kids about sharing their possessions, times we’ve caused someone else to stumble, and how to be ready, because troublemakers will be near you in the future.
