There is a huge difference between breaking a rule because you don’t like the rule and breaking a rule because the rule is wrong, based on lies or fear, or harmful physically, mentally, or emotionally. And teaching your kids to discern the difference is the epitome of good parenting.

Teaching your kids to stand for truth is not encouraging a rebellious spirit. It means you’ve taught them what truth is, and you’ve taught them HOW to think instead of WHAT to think.

“Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, ‘When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live.’ But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live. So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, ‘Why have you done this, and let the male children live?’ The midwives said to Pharaoh, ‘Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.’ So God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and grew very strong. And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.”
