Ephesians 6:1-4

Regrettably in today's culture fathers seem to be failing in their responsibilities and disciplining children is one of those responsibilities. Let's look at what the scriptures have to say on the subject of discipline.

* Colossians 3:21 - The responsibility falls on fathers.

* Proverbs 13:24 - If you don't spank then you hate the child.

* Proverbs 22:15 - Rod of correction will remove foolishness from the child.

* Proverbs23:13-14 - Do not withhold correction as it won't kill the child.

* Proverbs 29:15 - The rod and rebuke give wisdom.

* Hebrews 12:4 - Discipline is called for and God chastens those he loves.
