Kingdom Household Codes: Children & Parents

“Parenting is the process in which bigger sinners attempt to convince littler sinners to mend their wicked ways.”

Dan Doriani

If rules and regulations had the power to change the heart and life of your child, rescuing your child from himself and giving him a heart of submission and faith, Jesus would have never needed to come!

Paul David Tripp

“Some parents have no noble goal at all; they simply want to control their children. These parents want their children to mind, to behave, to be good, to be nice. They remind their children of how things were when they were youngsters. Frequently they employ the “tried and true” methods of discipline—whatever their parents did that seemed to work. They want children who are manageable. They want them to do the right thing (whatever that is at the moment). The bottom line is to control their kids. But, the control is not directed toward specific character development objectives. The concern is personal convenience and public appearance.”

Ted Tripp

Discipline is discomfort in the lives of a child in order to bring about repentance of sin and restoration of relationship to God, parents and others.
