The Tending Lambs Podcast

Your correction must hold the standard of righteousness as high as God holds it... the alternative is to give them a law they can keep. The alternative is to give them a law they can keep. The alternative is a lesser standard that does not require grace and does not cast them on Christ, but rather on their own resources... dependence on their own resources moves them away from the cross. It moves them away from any self-assessment that would force them to conclude that they desperately need Jesus' forgiveness and power. -Tedd Tripp, Shepherding a Child's Heart The Gospel and Gentle Parenting (Abby Alam) Won't Kids Just Run Wild Without Punishment?
