Disciplining our children should be for the purpose of conforming them to the image of Christ. As Godly parents, we are mandated to equip our children with the tools to make Godly decisions. God says in Proverbs 22:6...Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old, he will not depart from it. It is our responsibility, our reasonable duty to provide wisdom, guidance, love and Godly examples. In doing so, we place the hope that our due diligence and trust in the Lord will ignite a light in our children that other children will see. That they become the salt of the earth, the light of the world. (Matthew 5:13-14)
Social change begins with OUR attitude toward our brother/neighbor and it extends to our children. Our youth who observes what is happening in today's society and our reactions to it, develop an opinion/attitude as a result. Without proper guidance, without wisdom, without prayer, they are left to their own demise.
Let's not be a willing party to their crimes, their behavior and ultimately their death. For the Bible says...Discipline your son (daughter) for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his (her) death.
