Unintentional Teaching

Posted by Michelle under: Uncategorized; .

One of the things Jay Younts says in his book that has been a recurring thought is how much we teach when we’re not even talking to our children. When we talk to a friend on the phone about a problem, do we complain, judge motives, speak in anger, or do we react humbly, expressing a desire that God would be glorified? Anytime we’re interacting, our children are listening and learning about how a Christian lives.

That’s a good, non-controversial thought for today. Thanks, Jay. :)
