Round the Sphere Again: The Gospel

Without It
everything is useless and vain. (A quote from John Calvin at Challies.com.)

Plus Nothing
Hold the ketchup (The Sacred Sandwich).

One Thing 
for sure: The law can’t make our children good.

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!). We’ll get moralistic kids who are cold and hypocritical and who look down on others, or you’ll get teens who are rebellious and self-indulgent and who can’t wait to get out of the house. 

(An excerpt from Give Them Grace by by Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson at The Resurgence)
