Relating Scripture to Life

Today I met with a Khmer leader at the dorm. The leaders are only a little older than the students but are responsible for them-making sure that the rules are obeyed, the house is kept clean, the students go to school...It is difficult since everyone are adults. This leader has had some trouble with confronting the students, sometimes they do what they are supposed to one time but then fall back. Some students think that since they are adults they can chose for themselves. I encouraged this leader to use scripture how God sets guidelines for us and we chose to obey them because we are His children-we know that God has our best in mind and that if we choose to disobey there are consequences and life has more problems. The same is with living at the dorm there are guidlines, rules and when we decide to live there we are saying we will obey these. There are rules because the leaders have the students best interest in mind, but if they chose to disobey there will be more problems. There we other things I shared from Scripture and this leader went away encouraged and feeling supported in a new way.
