TRUTH AND LIES It is easy to rationalize sinful thoughts and behaviors when they serve our selfish purposes. Considering the standards of our culture, small compromises may seem insignificant in comparison. As Christian parents, we will be challenged over and over again not to exchange the truth for a lie. This may mean saying no to our kids regarding certain movies, games, and clothing that our society finds acceptable. Godly standards may be tough for your child to accept, especially when they long to be cool and accepted by their peers. Take time to listen to your childrens thoughts about the pressure to conform that they feel. Ask questions about whats going on in their world and please dont dismiss their feelings when they express them. Instead of delivering a lecture, acknowledge their disappointment when you have to say no to something that conflicts with Gods standards. It will be easier for your kids to accept your authority when they feel genuinely heard. Uphold the standards of godly behavior with kindness and love.
