If you love your children you will discipline them!

 

He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

~Proverbs 13:24

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

~Proverbs 22:6

A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.

~Proverbs 29:15

I love and agree with all these quotes and Bible verses! So so true! We see so many spoiled and ill disciplined people and children  today, they are spoiled and have no respect for anything nor law and order. It is sad to see. Parents and authority need to be good disciplinarians for sure, otherwise, a household, or society is in danger. We need rules, we need law and order, and discipline when people do it out of love is good for their loved ones and children. It is sad to hear today about so many children killing their parents, how spoiled could they have been? Children and babies are our life blood, they are the most important commodity we can have as a society, they are the future. Being loving means being strict, sometimes a little spanking is not a bad thing. Even today, some schools and states still allow paddling, or at least they used to. I know my parents did to us if we were acting out or did something wrong. It means they love us. While in some cases, it can be abusive, most out of love is good and produces good fruit for our world. If you love your children, you will discipline them. If you do not, it is a cop out and you are being lazy, we have all seen the spoiled and ill behaved child in public before and a parent never correcting them. We have see a lot of bad kids in the news over the past few years, even some in jail or juvey due to bad behavior. If God disciplines us, it is because He loves us. We need to do that for our young people. We need law and order for a functioning society, laws bring order out of chaos. Today we see some make excuses for sin and lawlessness, none of it is healthy. Law and order, discipline, rules, love, forgiveness, not sinning, it is all what we need to make this world perfect, to make it the way God wants, that is why we need to follow Jesus, we need to imitate, and love like Him!
