Josh McDowell says, "Rules without respect leads to rebellion." Recently a friend was having a tough time with her teen...instead of yelling and scolding him her response was, "I respect your opinion but I need you to respect me."
What grace and wisdom she exhibited in that short phrase. Instead of diving into a deeper argument she walked away diginity intact and showed her son, honest respect. In return, he gave her the same. Whether your family member is 2 or 22 treated them with respect will train their hearts.
Hebrews 13:7--"Remember your leaders. They taught God's message to you. Remember how they lived and died, and copy their faith."
Today's Challenge: Lead your family members with respect and love. Show them a solid Christ-like leader!
Challenge Issued!
