He Who Spares His Rod Hates His Son

Send us Fan MailMy thought when I read this scripture is that it maybe should have stated, “he who spares his rod hates his son and sets himself up for correction from God Himself.” Yes, this way of saying this is not new, it is just a combination of scriptures that are included in this message. The original title to this message was, “disciplining kids”, which I thought everyone would want to know why and how this activity should take place. I really didn’t expect any kids to listen to it, well because you know, the title. Ha, but so as I was wrapping up my most recent message titled, “long suffering with yourself”, I came across this message and thought I should revise it to also include adults. Yes, we too get disciplined by God, we get corrected by God, and oh no yes, we get chastened by God, and so I thought it appropriate to add that discussion into this message. I have modified the kid part of the message as the original message was only about 10-min long. It is my hope with these kinds of messages that we are not caught off guard when trouble comes. It is my belief that we should know the difference between “discipline”, “correction”, “chastening”, “persecution”, “troubles”, “testing”, “trials”, “sorrows”, “reproached”, & “the activity of “curses.” And well yes, if you thought that, this would be a great topic to do a message on, you are right and it will be coming to a social media platform near you.https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/
