Satan has many fielding on his team. N o matter how we strike the ball, they will always try to catch us out. But that should never stop us getting as many runs on the board as we can before we retire from the game. Unfortunately he does not play by the rules. He changes the rules to suit himself and is always trying to confuse the boundary lines.
Every good player needs discipline and training.
I t is precisely at this point that the opposing team is confusing the boundaries by robbing parents of their rights. Parents must do everything possible within the boundaries that God has laid down to lovingly discipline and defend their children. Teaching them the rules, encouraging them to grow and develop into strong, but loving Christian adults. Obedience is not something that they will develop freely. They must be taught the rules of the game and given a good example, otherwise they will make the same wrong play and get bowled out every time.
