Why is forgiveness such an important topic?
I don't know anything that gets families stuck like this does.Does overcommitment play a role in the breakdown of familial relationships?
All families have sin, sin causes pain, and pain requires forgiveness.
My four kids, my wife and I all lived together, which means you have six sinners all living under one roof.
I think there's a lot of confusion about what forgiveness is and what it is not.
It is not excusing sin, diminishing sin, denying sin.
That is absolutely part of the problem.
Sports are a major thing. If you have a kid playing sports, it's all the time.
At some point you have to decide not to let the tail wag the dog.
There really is a craziness. It's an overload, and the kids feel it. I think you have to decide what is important in your family.
It's about growing together and experiencing life together.
