 Martha
Stewart Living Free - Chuck
Colson
When I arrived at the Maxwell Federal Prison in Montgomery, Ala.,
in the summer of 1974 in the wake of Watergate, I was greeted by
a burly caseworker who seemed undaunted that he was processing the
former special counsel to the president. 'Just remember one thing,
Colson,' he said. 'The reason you are here is to be punished.'

If everyone understands that prison is a very bad place, why
do people still do things that will get them there (sin nature
that we are born with Romans 6:12, 5:12,
3:9-19)? There is a battle that is constantly going on
inside of us as it does with everyone. It is the battle of good
versus evil or flesh vs. Sprit (Romans
8:5-6). When were you recently in this kind of battle
when the Sprit (good) won?
- How does hell compare to prison? (Matthew
25:41, Luke 16:23, 2 Peter 2:4, Revelation 20:13-15)
- Many people get the attitude that they will never go to prison
because they are not that bad or they just don't believe they
will ever really be sentenced there for what ever reason. Do you
believe that everyone is capable of doing something that could
land them in prison? Explain. How would coming to grips with this
understanding help you live life to the fullest? What do you think
keeps people from doing wrong/bad/evil things (morals, convictions…)?
- Many people don't think they are going to go to hell because
they are not that bad of a person or find comfort in thinking
there really is no hell. For those who fear God and have a personal
relationship with Him, there is an attitude that is taken that
is you deserve hell no matter how good you are. However, there
is a God who paid the price for you, as a gift, so that you do
not have to spend eternity there but rather with Him (Romans
6:23). It's amazing how differently you view life when
it is seen as a gift rather than a privilege.

How do you define success for your child? "Graduates from a prestigious college." "Nabs a high-paying job." "Settles down with a nice family." Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? "If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you'll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives," says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
