Family life is a spiritual calling and involves spiritual warfare and often that warfare simply involves being faithful to our duties each day without wavering.
Discipline is one of those very important parental duties and requires discernment, fortitude, and perseverance to do well.
We live in a culture that doesn’t value children or the raising of children. God’s perspective is the polar opposite. He tells us we are investing in eternal souls and not just those of our children, but our grandchildren and great-grandchildren and all those whose lives they touch.
Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work! Listen in for encouragement and some examples of practical discipline!
