Even though I am a college student without kids, I find this an interesting statement.

To keep one's love for one's child in the forefront of their mind, rather than anger or frustration can only lead to healthy disciplinary action, rather than abuse.

Are you trying to say that Good works are appointed to us through God, rather than US deciding to do good?

And if we cannot learn how to guide our own lives through the Word, then we do not know how to guide others lives in the name of God?

Am I getting this right?

It is not I, but through him that...Spirit inspired things are done?
