Discipline is good

Proverbs 19:18 “Discipline your children, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to their death.” Love demands discipline.  Ignore discipline and one ignores love.  That simple truth is ignored by many parents who define loving discipline as an overbearing taskmaster mentality.  That thinking will produce, not a well mannered and successful person, but rather, as this wise passage states, the death of potential success and wisdom the child could have had.  Loving discipline is essential in the training of both children and adults.
