you can read the rest here.Parents, including myself, tend to miss part of the lens. We lean toward certain perspectives. We often view all problems with our kids in light of sin. We are tempted to miss redemption, and to view all solutions to sin in terms of morality and moral pressure (as in, “How many times do I have to tell you to clean up your room?”).

children as the same image
i love finding things out on how to raise my children more biblically. some things i feel good about because, of course, my conviction lines up with a certain perspective and other times i find myself re-analyzing something because i realize i should parent differently. here is a great post by mark lauterbach.

As a parent, grandparent and children's pastor I wish this was required reading for every parent, grandparent and anyone with ANY children in their lives!! Truly excellent!! I wish I had read it about 31 years ago!
You make my heart so glad!
This was one of my favorite things he said-"the Bible is not a list of things to do. It is a way of seeing. When I get inside the Bible and I get the Bible inside me, it is a way of seeing life."
