Eph 1:1-10
Lk 11:47-54
"Woe to u, scholars of the law! You've taken away the key of knowledge. You urselves didnt enter & u stopped those trying to enter."
Discipline is needed to raise up good children. But there's a danger of setting up too many do's & don'ts that could cause rejection of our good intention. We might become "scholars of the law," setting up so many rules that make religion look like handcuffs, instead of the key that releases God's people from the prison of selfishness into the joyful freedom to love.
A life lived w/ Christ - acting justly & loving generously - is more effective in our children's minds. Instead of obscuring their path, we ought to be the light that help them discover Christ & realize His dream for us.
