Big idea for this series: my greatest opportunity to change the world for Christ is the kids God has put in my life.
Todays’ big idea: discipline + discipline = discipline
Discipline #3. The lifestyle of a disciple (end goal)
A person who is loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and share Jesus.
Romans 8:29 God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son.
Heb. 12:10 “God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness.”
Prov. 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Proverbs 13:24 Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.
Discipline #1. Constructive course corrections. (build up)
Proverbs 3:12 “The Lord corrects those He loves.”
Constructive course corrections:
-include the moral reason why
-help *** the value.
-are never done in anger
Eph. 6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.
-are consistent
-don’t allow arguing, but welcome limited challenges
-are different for each kid

Couple of books:

Correction warning!!!
Correction without a relationship fosters rebellion
Heb. 12:11 No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.
Want to be a friend to your kid?
Be a trainer now, so you can be a friend when they are older.

Favorite coach, favorite teacher ... the ones who corrected you in love. We can make an amazing difference in this world by investing pure love in our children.
