Have You Not Read?

Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child

January 29, 2024 • Sunnyside Baptist Church • Season 3 • Episode 14

Join Michael, David and Dillon as they discuss a topic that ought to be a primary concern of every parent: disciplining their children. For the Christian parent, particularly, we desire to discipline our children in a manner that honors the Lord and benefits the child. What does the Bible have to say about this topic? We are familiar with the phrase "spare the rod, spoil the child", derived from Proverbs 13:24. That sounds somewhat abusive and unloving. How should we understand this verse?
