Summary

How do we think about behavior, rules, boundaries, and consequences in a gospel-centered way? Does it matter? Episode 5 briefly speaks to the reality that our students need boundaries that will help them see how life works best within a healthy learning community. But, they also need to consistent gospel-reminders that their obedience (or lack thereof) doesn't change their standing; it doesn't make them good or bad. Our task is to help them to gospel-prompted obedience and rescue them from their "default setting" which bends them toward moralism.

Somethings we hold dear and will fight for and other things we are really rather flippant about because we think they do really matter. We live in a world where truth and belief are often confused, for instance, some suggest strongly that we are to value the beliefs of others. While I would admit that we ought to listen to others to understand their given belief and do this with respect for those whose beliefs may differ from our own.

Most people would agree that Hitler was wrong and the beliefs he had were wrong and dangerous. We often, however, do not place beliefs that some hold about God and the gos
