“Satan is ever seeking to inject that poison into our hearts to distrust God's goodness - especially in connection with his commandments. That is what really lies behind all evil, lusting and disobedience. A discontent with our position and portion, a craving from something which God has wisely held from us.

“Much is made of the accelerating brutality of young people's crimes, but rarely does our concern for dangerous children translateinto concern for children in danger. We fail to make the connection between the use of force on children themselves, and violent antisocial behavior, or the connection between watching father batter mother and the child deducing a link between violence and masculinity.” PeopleChildrenDoeMadeUseYoungMotherFatherForceViolenceFailingDangerousCrimeDangerBehaviorConcernConnectionsViolentLinksMasculinityBrutalityAntisocialUse Of ForceAntisocial Behavior Book:Family politics: love and power on an intimate frontier Source: Family politics: love and power on an intimate frontier
