This is good to hear, Bob. You're so perceptive at understanding the motives of your children and using that for their edification. The Lord continue to bless you in your parenting! (And I know what you're talking about -- I was in martial arts for years before going to college! )

"It is part of the calling of the ekklesia to learn to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge and also to make known within the world of science 'the manifold wisdom of God' in order that the final end of theology, as of all things, may be that the name of the Lord is glorified. Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46
