DISCIPLINE



I had two teachers last year who never said a harsh word to anyone, yet the discipline in the classrooms was "under their little finger."

In each case, the teachers were mannerly & respectful toward their students; therefore, the students were respectful toward the teachers.
 
Both teachers had variety in their classes which made sitting & listening for an hour a pleasure.

Heb 12:10 (NCV): “Our fathers on earth disciplined us for a short time in the way they thought was best. But God disciplines us to help us, so we can become holy as he is.”

“We must face the fact that many today are notoriously careless in their living. This attitude finds its way into the church. We have liberty, we have money and we live in comparative luxury. As a result, discipline practically has disappeared. What would a violin solo sound like if the strings on the musician's instrument were all hanging loose, not stretched tight, not "disciplined?” -  A.W. Tozer.
