\nDear Scot,
\nThis will be a timely series for me and our family. We\u2019ve been reading through Joshua in school (we homeschool). Last week, when my eleven year old daughter read about Achan\u2019s sin and his punishment in Chapter 7, she burst into tears. The thought of God killing Achan\u2019s wife and children as a result of HIS sin did not sit well with her. We talked about God\u2019s reasons for it, but they were insufficient for her. It didn\u2019t seem fair, and I had to agree with her. She confessed that serving, believing in, following a God like that didn\u2019t appeal to her. Our discussion and my husband and my answers didn\u2019t seem to clarify or comfort her.
\nHonestly, we were both at a loss for a clear answer. We still are. Perhaps it\u2019s sleep deprivation with a newborn, I don\u2019t know\u2026
\nHow do you respond to an eleven year old who doesn\u2019t care about wrath, holiness, etc., and sees God as a big bully and unjust? I would really appreciate any responses and insight.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
