 and live in the kingdom of God. Amen. I want to read a scripture to you out of Proverbs chapter 4. It says, Listen to my son to a father's instructions. Pay attention and gain understanding. I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching. For I too was a son to my father, still tender and cherished by my mother. Then he taught me and he said to me, Take hold of my words with all your heart. Keep my commands and you will live.
