As a parent, your part is to pray for your kids and teach them what the Bible says about how to live, set up guidelines for them to follow, determine what the consequences will be if they disobey, and follow through with those consequences when necessary. God's part is to work with your children's hearts and help them change their inward attitudes. The children's part is to choose what they are going to do. Parents get out of balance when they try to manage all three parts of this process themselves.

Joyce Meyer

Joyce Meyer ist eine US-amerikanische charismatische Predigerin, Bestseller-Autorin und Televangelistin, die ihre weltweite Medienorganisation von Missouri aus leitet. Bekannt ist sie für ihre lebenspraktische Auslegung biblischer Prinzipien mit Fokus auf emotionale Heilung, persönliche Krisenbewältigung und die Disziplinierung der eigenen Gedankenwelt. Während ihre direkte Art vielen Lesern konkrete Alltagsorientierung bietet, stehen ihre langjährige Verkündigung von Elementen des Wohlstandsevangeliums sowie Finanzfragen in der anhaltenden theologischen Kritik.
