THE MORE LOVING ONE
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,

Ephesians 4:14-17. Have you ever had a child that every instruction you gave them they said back to you “what for?” When I was growing up you might have had the luxury of asking one time if you were brave, never twice “what for.” We just didn’t question the wisdom and authority of our parents.
