Do you know what it means to do an“alley-oop” or an “ollie”?
While someone could try to explain those basic skateboarding tricks using words, it’s pretty hard to understand until you see someone jump on a skateboard and demonstrate.
This same principle applies when it comes to parenting our son. Sure, we can try to lecture him on the importance of a relationship with Jesus. But we must allow Jesus to fully transform our own life, first.
Feel like you’ve already failed at showing the fruits of the spirit today? Perfect. Here’s your opportunity to demonstrate repentance, and show your son what it looks like to rest in the sufficient grace God has for all of us.
That’s even more impressive than even the coolest skateboarding trick.
