PART ONE: Babywise: Fish and Bones!

Posted in Babytalk

Numerous people have voiced strong opinions about the Ezzos and Babywise.  I appreciate most the honest and humble confessions of those who admit they allowed a man-made method to be equal to biblical truth. 

 

Such confessions serve as a great warning and reminder that everything said by man is Fish and Bones.  We can chew on the good meat, and must spit out the bones!  Where methods are not contrary to the Word of God we can use them to help our families.  But we must spit out any self-righteousness, pride, or belief that those who use some other method are in sin.

 

I know wonderful Christian families (with well-behaved children) who demand feed, homeschool at different times each day, and sleep at different times each night.  I also know wonderful Christian families (with well-behaved children) who feed on a schedule, have a strict daily routine, and each of their children are in bed at 8:00 each night.  These are just examples of families choosing different methods . . . none of which are necessarily contrary to the Bible!  

 

Let us carefully pick out the fish from the bones.  May we always pray for wisdom in our decision making.  And in all things we must remember to love one another!

I can choose a bony fish with little meat or I can choose a fish with much meat and little bones. Why would I take advice from the "bony fish" book?

I suppose you can find something edible if you dig through the trash long enough or you could simply eat at home with fresh food prepared yourself. Wading through Ezzo, frankly, feels too much like a trash can for me.

have always said you take what you want and leave what you don't - like a shopping cart in a grocery store. Sometimes the choices really don't leave much to choose from, but sometimes they have some great nuggets of wisdom!

The Bible is clearly the best source though, and we cannot pick and choose there!

Warmly,
Kate

Very, very well put. "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

About Me

My faith teaches me that the calling of Christian homemaker, wife, or mother is just as holy as one to "full-time ministry." I am a mom of seven children ages eight and under seeking and sharing helpful tidbits learned during this season of life. May we glorify and enjoy Him each day! :o), Moms4Psalms
