Let another praise you and not your own mouth, a stranger and not your own lips.
Proverbs 27:2 TLV

Self-acclamation only impresses the simple-minded. Yeshua let others name him as Messiah and the Son of God, and Paul said, "For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends."

Car theft is the problem of car manufacturers. Right.

"I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways, saith Yahweh, God: return therefore, and cause others to turn away from all your transgressions: so iniquity shall not be your destruction."

Eze 18

It's not a sin to cooperate or to build cities and towers. It is a sin, however, to believe you can escape divine judgment through your own efforts. You can't save mankind from God by uniting, building higher than the mountains, or colonizing Mars.

Ladies, Father does not guarantee you a life without suffering, but He does guarantee that He will never leave you nor forsake you. Help your children to memorize that.

Proverbs 3:11—12, “My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD, and do not loathe His rebuke; for the LORD corrects the one He loves, as does a father the son in whom he delights.” Holding each other accountable displays how much we love them, but allowing them to destroy themselves also displays how much we hate them. When we hold each other accountable, it must be done in love.
