Some great advice here from N.D. Wilson’s new book. I think he is on to something good here. We live with the fractures of sin rumbling all around us. From being grumpy with each other in the mornings to terrorist attacks. From unkind words to murderous actions. Suffering and pain are everywhere. How can we raise our sons and daughters to be strong?
“This world is rated R, and no one is checking IDs. Do not try to make it G by imagining shadows away. Do not try to hide your children from the world forever, but do not pretend there is no danger. Train them. Give them sharp eyes and bellies full of laughter. Make them dangerous. Make them yeast, and when they’ve grown, they will pollute the shadows.”
