Mockers are spoken of negatively often in Proverbs. According to that book, they delight in their scoffing and any interest in correcting them only results in dishonor because they refuse to listen to rebukes. A mocker goes beyond disagreement with the Word of God. They ridicule it and those who follow it. They have no desire for honest debate. No desire to have their opinions changed. They are arrogant, sarcastic and pompous. They are filled with pride, derision and contempt. That is why Psalm 1 says the wise individual should not “sit in the seat of scoffers, but [rather] delight…in the law of the LORD, and in His law…meditates day and night.”

Dear Hope Chest readers,
 
I am sending out the newest issue of the Hope Chest in about ten minutes.  It is on the topic of purity, and since there are two or three words that could possibly trigger a hypersensitive Internet decency filter, I have used asterisks to complete them.  However, I just wanted to let you know that if you don't receive the Hope Chest this evening, it probably didn't make it through your filter.  Please contact me and I will see that I can do to make it right.  I have used these words in a very straightforward Biblical sense, so I assure you are not getting anything indecent from me.
 
Blessings,
Virginia Knowles
