‘Compassionate Physical Discipline Of Children.’
Proverbs 23:13-14.
It is never correct to discipline children when we are angry. That can do them immense emotional and even physical harm. The discipline of children needs to be done in gentleness and with good communication. Undisciplined children are also living confused and wounded lives, always having to find their own way, even from a young age.
a) Do not fail to discipline our children.
b) They will not die if we lovingly spank them.
c) Physical discipline now may save them from death later.
(This QT reminds me that the Bible recommends Compassionate Physical Discipline Of Children)
---------
‘God’s Working Within Us.’
Philippians 1:6.
a) Can be trusted.
b) Has begun in the life of every True Believer.
c) Will continue in our lives.
d) Will be finally finished on the Day when Christ Jesus returns.
(This Second one gives me great hope: God’s Working Within Me)

Children need to be cared for well by their parents. One of the reasons why God allows us to have children is that He might be Glorified in the next generation. Parents are stewards of their children until their children are old enough to take full responsibility for their own lives.
