SPANKING on SermonAudio

Scripture commands that we nurture our children in the admonition of the Lord (Eph. 6:4)—but sometimes it just doesn't seem to work. The panel discusses the place of spanking in the training of children, asking: is it not working, or is it just taking longer than you'd like? They talk about teaching vs atonement…rebellion vs immaturity…changing behavior vs changing the heart…and alternatives to spanking that often render it unnecessary.

In this episode of "Faith & Practice," Dr. Pipa and Pastor Groff handle a diverse array of questions pertaining to Christian living, parenting, church architecture, conscience, decision-making, and covenant theology. Questions include: - How should Christians decide when to refuse to work for a customer or employer? - Should we tithe on money we receive as a gift? - Are images of Christ (e.g., in art, textbooks) sinful to look at? How should we understand historical art portraying biblical themes/events? Connected to this, how do we understand nude art, historically? Is it outright sinful? - How should we conduct ourselves in an increasingly hostile world where children can be taken away from parents for spanking and other forms of historically attested disciplinary practices? How do we address disobedience in public settings? In corporate worship? - If a church is in a position to construct a building for worship, would it be a valid use of funds to build something beautiful and lasting? - Regarding the New Covenant prophecy in Jeremiah 31:31-34, I've seen Reformed folks argue for a mixed covenant and say that Jeremiah's "New Covenant" prophecy is the culmination in glory. I've also heard people argue that "the least to the greatest of them" just means all classes of people, not every single individual. What are your thoughts?

Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

Love in unconditional. But that means that you REBUKE children when they need it. Spanking and correction ARE means of "love". Also Reference: 1 John 3:18, Proverbs 23:14 https://bbfohio.com

Parenting is a battle against rebellion and the sinful nature of the child. If you reign it in with Biblical discipline, it will direct the child toward God and may deliver his souls from Hell! https://bbfohio.com

We discuss the hubbub about the word "beat" in this text. And we will make all the stupid people angry but, ironically, their anger is a SIN according to their new versions! Also Reference: Proverbs 3:5-6 https://bbfohio.com
