The Disciplining of Rebellion - What to do

  • Identify that it is rebellion
    • Active rebellion - outwardly showing rebellion with an action
    • Passive rebellion - conveniently forgetting, external obedience but with an attitude
    • Rebellion is when the child knowingly places his will above the will of his parents
  • Deal with the rebellion - Proverbs 23:13-14
    • Latin word vetus - to strike or to swat
    • Parents are instructed by the word of God to spank children
    • The rod is a light object, not heavy, to reprove the child
    • Biblical chastisement will bear forth fruit
      • chastisement - an action out of love, happens swiftly, brings children and parents together in love
      • abuse - an action out of anger, response is late, alienates children from parents
    • An act of spanking is an act of love
