The rules and regulations approach that focuses on keeping the teenager “out of trouble” will ultimately fail because it does not deal with the heart. As Paul so powerfully states, it “lacks any value for restraining sensual indulgence.” What he means is that it does not deal with the source of a person’s wrong behavior, the sinful desires of the heart. Peter says that the corruption in the world is caused by evil desires (2 Peter 1:4). We have to work at the level of the heart desires with our teenagers, or we will win lots of battles and ultimately lose the war. It’s not enough to be detectives, jailers, and judges. We must pastor the hearts of our children with the kind of faithful, watchful care for their souls that we receive from our heavenly Father.

INSTRUCTIONS

Spanish garlic prawns are yesterday's fashion, but are
still so enjoyable that most of us are prepared to eat
them and to hell with friends and colleagues next day.
Perhaps the vast quantity of coriander root in this
Thai version has magical properties because the
after-math doesn't seem to be severe.
Prepare a marinade by mixing together 8 crushed cloves
of garlic, 2 tablespoons washed and minced coriander
root, 2 table- spoons fish sauce, 1.5 tablespoons
brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add 500 g of
shelled and cleaned prawns and leave to marinate for
15-30 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan, add the prawns
and their marinade and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or
just until the prawns are pink. Stir in the juice of a
lemon and serve immediately with rice and sliced
tomatoes and cucumber.
