Parenting With a Real Finished Work of Christ Focus
September 18, 2007 Comments Off on Parenting With a Real Finished Work of Christ FocusQ&A: How to relate to my kids without sounding dogmatic?:
“ avoid the game. Tell your children about the real you. You know, the one that is alive in Christ because of what HE has done, but one who also struggles every day with the same kind of things they struggle with. Your children want to know if they are worthwhile if they are important if they are loved, and how they can be right.
If you level with them about your own futile attempts to justify yourself through your day then they may be able to see that others, even religious others, are trying to do the same thing. They will really see the truth when they realize that that is exactly what they are desperately searching for in the world around them. When it ceases to be a mystery then they won’t be enticed to go chasing after any system of man for their worth. Show them CHRIST vs. EVERYTHING ELSE!! :)”
This is an excellent/concise article on parenting with a real risen Christ focus.
One needs to keep in mind that we are saved through FAITH, not belief.
