A Disciplined Walk Through Life by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
WHEN WE ARE CHILDREN , discipline may come physically or verbally, and often comes as both. Our childish minds, intent on the object of our desires, cries out against this, and struggles within the imposed boundaries we do not understand. When adolescents, if the earlier discipline has been ineffective due to laxity or cruelty, or perhaps just to our stubborn nature, our resistance may grow into rebellion. So a negative pattern of life begins, with very predictable consequences to some of those around us, even as we remain oblivious. Warnings have not been enough, and object lessons from life are the only apparent remedy. Come they will, and they will undoubtedly be painful.
