“Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-6‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

God draws us to the light with Him where nothing is hidden.
Repentance is a change in direction. We break old habits and patterns of behavior and create new habits and patterns of behavior.
Let us lay aside the weight and sin that gets us off track, and run the race with patience! Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith! (Hebrews 12)

Isa 1:16-20 (LXXE)
16 Wash you, be clean; remove your iniquities from your souls before mine eyes; cease from your iniquities; 17 learn to do well; diligently seek judgement, deliver him that is suffering wrong, plead for the orphan, and obtain justice for the widow. 18 And come, let us reason together, saith the Lord: and though your sins be as crimson, I will make them white as snow; and though they be as scarlet, I will make them white as wool. 19 And if ye be willing, and hearken to me, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 but if ye be not willing, nor hearken to me, a sword shall devour you: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.

People often say to me, "you can't keep your children in a bubble". And I reply, "it's not a bubble, it's a greenhouse."

A bubble stifles growth and blocks out nutrients. A greenhouse provides an environment for cultivation.

Children’s hearts need to be “greenhoused” before they’re ready to be transplanted out into the world. We release when their roots are deep and they are mature enough to withstand the storms, not beforehand.

While they're still under our protection, we take the responsibility for engaging them in learning about different cultures, ideologies and values. They should only know worldly teachings enough that they will be inoculated against them.

It's neither parenting out of fear or legalism, nor going to the opposite extreme of being too permissive.

No, our kids shouldn't grow up in a bubble. But they shouldn't be left exposed to the harsh outside elements, either.

The greenhouse of our home has all the right conditions for those young seeds to grow and flourish.

Those who live without a biblical foundation have chosen an unstable and unreliable path that floats on trends rather than on faith that is fixed in absolute truth. But those of us who stick with the Bible have a solid foundation.
