Shame is removed through love.

The difference between punishment and discipline is a powerful child.

Jesus literally sliced through years of rabbinical law and cultural norms with the extreme love of God that sees the treasure in every human heart.

Marriage isn't just a choice. It's choosing the same person a million times.

The more others encounter us honoring the boundaries we have set for our lives, the more they will know that they can trust us with their lives.

This is because fear and love are enemies. They come from two opposing kingdoms. Fear comes from the devil, who would like nothing more than to keep you permanently disconnected and isolated. Love comes from God, who is always working to heal and restore your connection with Him and other people and bring you into healthy, life-giving relationships.

Discipline works from the inside out, and punishment tries to work from the outside in.
