Discipline vs. PunishmentDiscipline is meant to teach the nature of the world (how the world works). Discipline is about getting the way God’s world works into the habits, loves, desires, of our children- punishment has to do with righting scales. That is not our job.Discipline is how we claim our children as our own.Disciplining your children means that they are your childrenPro 3:11-12  My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:  (12)  For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.Amo 3:1-2  Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,  (2)  You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.1Co 11:31-32  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.  (32)  But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.That is why discipline is can be called an act of love.Discipline as an act of loveHeb 12:6  For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.Pro 13:24  He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.Pro 3:11-12  My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:  (12)  For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.Pro 19:18  Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.Psa 119:67  Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.Psa 119:71  It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

1Jn 1:3-10  That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.  (4)  And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.  (5)  This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  (6)  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:  (7)  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  (8)  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  (9)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  (10)  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.What Get full access to Jason Farley's Substack at jasonfarley.substack.com/subscribe
