    TODAY’S SCRIPT:

    God doesn’t disappear when the road in life gets dark. Instead, He moves toward us in hopes of restoring, forgiving, and reconciling with us.

    I encourage any parent faced with a rebellious or sinful teen to do exactly the same. You can hate the sin while loving the sinner. Enforce consequences, for sure, but avoid bible-beating, berating, and demeaning your child. It only builds walls of resentment that may never come down.

    Don’t burn bridges. Instead, build them to your teen in the midst of his rebellion, fashioned after the example of God’s love and grace.
