• Parents, don't let your kids go to school and disrupt the classroom. It makes you look like a bad parent, and it prevents other kids from learning. Make sure they know you mean BUSINESS.

  • Proverbs 10:19
    When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable,
    But he who holds back his lips has insight.

    When we talk too much, we will sin with our mouths. We should learn the discipline of keeping our mouths closed sometimes. It is not necessary to say everything that crosses our minds.

    Progressives called CPS to get a Christian blogger’s baby taken away because he posted about the first time he "disciplined" his child
    Samuel Sey is one of the most level-headed and fair-handed, yet zealous Christian writers out there.

  • Why is discipline important? Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire.

  • Believers: stay strong! Read God's Word daily. Pray several times a day. Fellowship with your church family. Stop watching the news. Scroll past the worst of social media. Laugh out loud. Spend time with family. These disciplines will help keep the world from getting to you.

  • Discipline says, 'I need to.' Duty says, 'I ought to.' Devotion says, 'I want to.'

  • The most compelling motivation for faithful, obedient living should not be the threat of discipline or loss of reward but overflowing and unceasing gratitude for the marvelous mercies of God.

  • INTERESTING Sounds Like Real Stuff Before The Demons Changed Things.... Now Most THINK The Way Of The Demons Is Gospel.....
    Krstikj Snezhanka ·

    My mum used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread butter on bread on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning.
    Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in ice pack coolers, but I can't remember getting e. Coli
    Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake or at the beach instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then.
    We all took PE ..... And risked permanent injury with a pair of Dunlop sandshoes instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors that cost as much as a small car. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now.
    We got the cane for doing something wrong at school, they used to call it discipline yet we all grew up to accept the rules and to honour & respect those older than us.
    We had 50 kids in our class and we all learned to read and write, do maths and spell almost all the words needed to write a grammatically correct letter......., FUNNY THAT!!
    We all said prayers in school irrespective of our religion, sang the national anthem and no one got upset.
    Staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention we wish we hadn't got.
    I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself.
    I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations. We weren't!!
    Oh yeah .... And where was the antibiotics and sterilisation kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed!
    We played "King of the Hill" on piles of gravel left on vacant building sites and when we got hurt, mum pulled out the 2/6p bottle of iodine and then we got our backside spanked. Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10 day dose of antibiotics and then mum calls the lawyer to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat.
    To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family. How could we possibly have known that?
    We never needed to get into group therapy and/or anger management classes. We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills, that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac!
    How did we ever survive?
    LOVE TO ALL OF US WHO SHARED THIS ERA. AND TO ALL WHO DIDN'T, SORRY FOR WHAT YOU MISSED.

  • Proverbs 23:13-14
    Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

    As I was reading a news article about some middle school kids who stole and wrecked their teachers' vehicle, this verse came to mind. Obviously, their parents did not take heed to this verse and apply the board of correction to their seat of knowledge when they were small. Had they done so, I doubt I would have been reading about their stunt in the news.

    I know the world does not like the idea of spanking kids. Every time it is mentioned, the word "abuse" is attached. That is what the enemy of our souls wants the world to think: corporal punishment is abuse. IT IS NOT. The LORD gave each of us a cushion on the back to absorb the "rod" that we would need, because God knew before the beginning of time that we would be stubborn, rebellious, disobedient, wicked, fleshly, selfish and sinful; and the only attempt to drive that out of us is a combination of a daily diet of God's Word, and a good warm application to our bottoms.

    As a child, I was under the influence of my parents and my Godly maternal grandmother. Between those three people, my siblings and I learned how to act. We learned that certain behaviors would not be tolerated. If we participated in certain behaviors, there would be dire consequences. While those consequences were not pleasant, they have helped shape the person that I am today. I, in turn, did not tolerate certain behaviors from my children. I have had one of my adult children thank me for how I raised them. What a blessing to my heart those comments were! But even if I had not had the privilege of living to hear my child thank me, I know that it is pleasing to the LORD when we raise our children in the manner in which He had laid out in His Word.

    Christian parents: if you have small children, now is the time to start disciplining them. If you love them, you do not want to see them on the evening news. If they make the evening news, more than likely they did something they should not have done, and that will break your heart. Give them Godly correction while they still have time to be molded. Let them know that there are rules to be followed and if they do not follow the rules, there are consequences to be suffered. Along with the discipline, let them know that God loves them with a perfect love, and begin sharing His Word with them EVERY DAY. Let them know that you love them and want the best for them, which is always rooted in Christ Jesus. Take 15 minutes out of your busy day to share with them a verse or two of scripture, until it becomes so enjoyable that you will begin sharing with them whole chapters per day! You will never regret teaching your children the ways of the LORD. (Isaiah 54:13)

    If you are a parent who is not a Christian, the same thing applies, except you first need to come to a relationship with the LORD Jesus Christ. Repent of your life of sin and ask the LORD to be your Savior and the Master of your life. If you come to Him in sincerity, He will not turn you away. (John 6:37) He will save you and indwell you with His precious Holy Spirit, which will empower you to understand His Word and give you the desire to see your children saved and walking with the LORD. Get in a Bible teaching church, one that focuses less on "stuff" and more on the Word of God, get you a good study Bible (I always recommend the MacArthur study Bible because of the notes) and start reading the Word every day, and read it to your children. You will be thankful that you started them out on God´s Word at a young age!
