Rules are a good and necessary part of running a home and raising a family. Why do our best efforts sometimes breed resentment or even rebellion, when it's all so well-intentioned? This episode we're looking at the crucial balance between rules and relationship in our home! Scriptures We Reference The Ten Commandments - Exodus 20:1-17, Deuteronomy 5:1-21 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”      Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.  This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:36-40) Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. (Romans 14:5) Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. (Ephesians 6:1) So then, my beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.  (James 1:19-20) The repentance of Ahab - 1 Kings 21:17-29
