Breaking The Rules
From parents to teachers to bosses to politicians, people who are responsible for social groups of various sizes and shapes and characters all seem to share one fundamental question: what does it take to make people behave? In parenting, for example, the philosophies range from the flexibility and affection of Dr. Spock to the strict boundaries and strong discipline of Dr. Dobson. Societally, these days the debate is between the necessity of mask mandates or the need to trust people to do the right thing. When it comes to follow Christ, what is the best way to inspire Christ-like behaviour? What is the rule for becoming the people God created us to be?
