  2. Regardless of popular opinion.
  3. From the outside of us.

  2. Protect wisdom.
  3. Strive for whole-life application.

  1. Imparting wisdom is a faithful and continual effort.
  2. The primary responsibility always resides with the parent.
  3. Use supports.
  4. Supports are supplements, not supplants.

Conversations
