UNCHANGING RULES OF PARENTING ”Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.” Proverbs 23:13-14
UNCHANGING RULES OF PARENTING “We must be careful not to fall into the following errors. The first is the error of love without correction. A parent says, ‘I love my children so much I can’t spank them.’ The Bible says we do not love our children if we do not spank them or correct them (Prov.13:24). Children need correction, and without it they are not likely to put any great value on our love.
UNCHANGING RULES OF PARENTING “The second problem is a rod of correction without love. We then spank out of anger (whether piping hot or icy cold), and our children feel nothing but physical pain and the equally bitter sting of our wrath. They see that we are not really grieved when we spank them, and they do not feel we are doing it in God’s name. They know we are punishing them because we are angry. Proverbs 15:18 says, ‘A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.’ Angry discipline is counterproductive as a means of training our children in godliness.” Dr. Joel Beeke
