Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? (Hebrews 12:9)

When we avoid violent language and actions and seek peaceful resolutions to conflict, we help children to become peacemakers. Likewise, by voicing opposition to anything that destroys life, such as violence, abortion, capital punishment, and poverty, we help children to affirm life. 

Fight the flesh and grow in strength from within.
