Help! I Think I’m a Bad Parent

I’m pretty sure that most every parent at some point questions the job they’re doing. If you haven’t yet, just wait; the opportunity will surely arise!

In this article from Crossway, Adam Griffin, author of Good News for Parents, offers some freeing perspective for Christian parents. “You are free from sin’s power and shame’s dominion. You are free from Satan, the accuser, as your master, and you are free to follow Christ, your advocate.”

He provides this reminder, “Our inadequacy in parenting is a great gift. If we weren’t inadequate, when would we run to Jesus? If we weren’t inadequate parents, how could we show our inadequate kids, who will grow to be inadequate adults, how to run to the Jesus they dearly need?”
