Be leary of those who cheer for you while you are acting a fool. 

You make them feel comfortable because you bring no threat or conviction for them to better their own lives. - Alicia Giles

Knowing what is right and doing what is right; are two different things. 

It does not make you wise, if you know to do what is right, and don’t do it. 

It is excusable for you not to do what is right, because you did not to know. 
Rather than to know what was right and continue not to do what you knew to do.

Because if it is all knowledge and no works what use is it. - Alicia Giles

God does not just sweep life away, instead, he devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from him - 2 Samuel 14:14b

"God wants to use us to love those who have failed and fallen. You have the power to reconcile, restore, and forgive. Will you use your power to be there for a backslider.....cause one day it could be you....selah” -  Pastor Michael Exum

“The greatest gift a man can give his child is to financially support him or her. 

It gives a father great pride knowing that he is taking care of his responsibility to the fullest, and not pushing that responsibility upon someone else.

Not many rewards come without some hardship. And he may experience heartache and pain in doing it; but if he persist he will get used to it.  

As for mothers; if you stand in the way of a man doing do so, you hinder his mental maturity and his personal reward.
When that man who has taken care of his child goes before God, he will be greatly rewarded.”  - Pat Stenson
