{"quotes":[{"text":"If I can draw the slightest smile across a single face obliterated by pain, in that act I will have begun to understand the power of an ordinary human being to perform the seemingly impossible in the life of another human being.

They're hungry to make a difference. They're willing to take a stand for whatever they believe, even to die for a cause. When they sell out to Jesus, they'll pursue a standard of righteousness that is greater than anything you and I ever saw growing up. Don't water it down. Don't lower the standard. And don't just settle for raising it-raise it higher. Believe in your children. Talk with them. Speak well of them. Encourage them. Pray for them. Celebrate the victories with them. Affirm their growth. We can raise a generation that, although they'll make mistakes, will sell out completely when Jesus grips them. They'll give Him everything. They'll make you proud by being even weirder than you are.","author":"Craig Groeschel","tags":["a","affirm","although","an","and","anything","are","authentic","based","being","believe","by","can","cause","celebrate","children","completely","crave","deeply","die","difference","don-t","down","encourage","even","ever","everything","for","generation","give","god","greater","grips","growing","growth","higher","him","hungry","i","in","is","it","jesus","just","life","lower","make","mistakes","of","on","out","parents","passionate","people","pray","proud","pursue","raise","raising","righteousness","saw","sell","settle","speak","stand","standard","take","talk","than","that","the","their","them","they","they-ll","they-re","to","today","truth","up","victories","water","we","weird","weirder","well","whatever","when","will","willing","with","you","young","your"],"id":22696,"author_id":"Craig+Groeschel"},{"text":"Two things are needed to raise awareness: education and love.
