TOP 10 THINGS YOU’LL NEVER HEAR A DAD SAY via preaching.com

10. I guess I’m lost! Looks like we’ll have to stop and ask for directions.

9. You know, honey, now that you’re 13, you’ll be ready for unchaperoned car dates. Won’t that be fun?

8. I noticed all your friends have a certain hostile attitude. I like that.

7. Here’s a credit card and the keys to my new car. Go have fun!

6. What do you mean you want to play football? Figure skating’s not good enough for you, Son?

5. Your mother and I are going away for the weekend. You might want to consider throwing a party.

4. Well, I don’t know what’s wrong with your car. Probably one of those doo-hickey thingies that makes it run or something. Just have it towed to a mechanic and pay whatever he asks.

3. No son of mine is going to live under this roof without an earring. Now quit your belly-aching, and let’s go to the mall.

2. Why do you want to go and get a job? I make plenty of money for you to spend.

1. What do I want for my birthday? Oh, don’t worry about that. It’s no big deal. (Okay, they might say it, but they don’t mean it.)

Cheap Grace
�Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.�
