Correction

Abuse of children has recently become a hot topic on the lips of persons from my country. It is in the media constantly and measures have been taken to safe guard the quality of life for children. Now, there is a fine line between discipline and abuse and this causes some contention among some parents and even some teachers.

As a christian, the Bible teaches us how to discipline children. It also teaches us the importance of training them in the right parts/ways when they are young. This is not a job to be taken lightly as God has consequences for parents, and adults alike, who harm them - But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. (Mat. 18:6)

So, how do we discipline children? It is simple - In LOVE.

Yes love. We all like to hear that we are loved and I am sure we all have said that we love, but, do we really know what love is? Do we understand what the Bible teaches as love. Do we understand that God is love? And, more importantly do we know that to know God we need to know His Character? 

What is God's character??? Do we emulate and mentor these characteristics to children, especially those that we are the parents of? Do we??????????????????????????????

Now don't get me wrong, children have their role to play. I am intrigued in knowing what you thing these are...
