Episode 42 - Out of Context: Training Up a Child (Proverbs 22:6)
Have you heard Proverbs 22:6 spoken as a promise, rather than using it as a principle? When we do this, we can come to some false conclusions about our parenting. We need to get clear about what our role in our relationship with our children and their own responsibilities toward God.

Episode 41 - Out of Context: Eye for an Eye (Exodus 21:24-25)
We need to take time to wrestle with these verses from the Law. The good news is, Jesus gives a great sermon, the Sermon on the Mount, to clarify the Old Testament law for his listeners.
