I read this today and I am currently mulling it over. Letting it run around in my head because this is something totally new for me. This is not a thought I generally can accept let alone put into practice. BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE THE "LAW" PERSON. I want to be the gospel kind of parent.
Every way we try to make our kids good that isn’t rooted in the good news of the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ is damnable, crushing, despair-breeding, Pharisee-producing law. We won’t get the results we want from the law. We’ll get either shallow self-righteousness or blazing rebellion or both (frequently from the same kid on the same day!). From this site
