"He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy." (Proverbs 29:1 KJV)
The word "Reproved" is an old English term the people from England used hundreds of years ago which actually means "rebuke" "scold" or "correct". We rebuke or correct our children for their own good. Training and discipline are part of making and helping them to be good or better person. "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."- (Proverbs 22:6 KJV)
One of the hardest part in the ministry of the pastors and ministers is to rebuke or reprove. It's also hard to rebuke an elder or fellow pastors and ministers. But I believe that nothing more harder than the proud, arrogant, hard headed, stiff-neck, haughty spirited individual. (1 Timothy 5:1; 1 Timothy 5:20; 2 Timothy 4:2; Titus 1:13) "These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee." (Titus 2:15 KJV)- By Ely Roque Sagansay
