The Heart of Parenting, Friday Night.

Good stuff last night, very thought provoking at the Heart of Parenting conference. Nothing earth shattering or particularly new, but it did have the effect of causing Eva and I to really talk through some stuff. There is little new under the sun, whether good or evil. It is the old truth that is always the best truth and that is what we are digging into. Unlike a lot of parenting material, this is Gospel centered and focused on the heart of children, as the name would indicate. We talked afterward about the idea that since only God can change hearts, what we are really doing is equipping our kids to examine their hearts in their behavior after God, if He chooses to do so in His sovereign grace, changes their heart. We can never change their hearts through any methods or efforts of our own, but we can equip our kids to use the hearts God has changed.
