The rod of discipline in the Bible is referring to the way a Shepherd gently guides his sheep with a rod. Adjusting them and keeping them on a path. This is what is meant by Rod when disciplining children.

What the Bible means by the “rod” is the staff that the shepherds use to guide their sheep and not to spank them

Corporal punishment is no different to child abuse and it is illegal in many countries and that number is thankfully growing. Don't wait for it to be outlawed, be civilised and choose for yourself that you won't stand for child abuse anymore.

I was beat as a child. I can clearly remember the fear and the pain but would never be able to tell you what I was to have learned from it. Beating on children is disgusting, don’t do it.

Is it okay to beat your wife? Then it's not okay to beat someone a lot smaller and weaker than you.

God bless Dennis. may his ministry continue.

If you have to hit, pinch or bite your kids to get them to listen you have failed as a parent. I also want to compare the difference between the two the person defending pinching their kid is frantically trying to make him understand, she is frustrated because she has clearly lost control but he’s calm and because of that he’s in control

Extreme selfishness. Killing a human for convenience.

Why does it sound off key??

I think the common ground we can all meet on is that we all want any child to grow up well-adjusted and not be an absolute tumor on society! The issue, however, is how do we go about the right way to discipline them to get them to that point? Every kid is different and they'll respond differently to whatever kind of discipline is applied to them. Some are easier to raise than others, some of them may need more attention than others and the list goes on. As far as I can see, the line between corporal punishment and actual physical abuse is totally ambiguous at best, no two people are in agreement with where that line is, if it even exists. The science has been clear on this all across the board for so many years: Corporal punishment of any kind just doesn't produce the meaningful results that we're looking for and has more potential to cause harm in later development. I'd be hard-pressed to find any decent doctor that would even have a positive view on corporal punishment, let alone advocate for it.

I was spanked growing up. It was out of love and I am thankful for it. One question I have is how some feel about when it is administered either pants down, meaning bare bottom. Some of mine were that way.

Thank you for your insight informations on the music business. The hype about this lady is fostered in a way, that it becomes ridicoulus and insane at the same time. I hope she get´s out saved finally. Greetings from the Westerwald, Germany.

REMEMBER....Jesus took the whip and began hitting people in the temple.

Lazy and slothful people chose not to like this video.

Nice rendition

I miss him in the Headhunters but it's great to see he's doing well and found Christ.

I got tired of hearing feminine pastors and priests obsess over gays while secretly doing gay stuff themselves while begging for more and more money.

His story about the little red New Testament and what he discovered there, despite being raised in the church, reminds me of The Jesus I Never Knew book by Philip Yancey. Massively influential book in my life. Highly recommended.

If Christians disagree with an unconstitutional law, should we disobey it out of conscience, understanding we might be fined or jailed for doing so? The average Christian doesn't have the means or knowledge to challenge it in court. Because of conscience, should we disobey the unconstitutional law while we advocate for and vote for better lawmakers, or while legal process unfolds (if the law has been challenged in a lawsuit).

Amen

amazingly😊😊

If you’re a good parent you should teach it’s not appropriate to hit anyone for any reason no matter how angry you are. Also it’s unfair reason 1: they don’t understand why it’s wrong. 2: if they do understand why it’s wrong they don’t appreciate why it’s wrong. 3: if parents mess up no consequences even if there parents are present. 4: your kids could take this as a appropriate response to bullies.

A child's BRAIN does not know the difference between a "spanking" and abuse. The brain responds the same way in either situation. Also the rod is not a tool to hit people with. It is a tool used by the shepherd to correct and guide his flock. Have you EVER heard of a shepherd BEATING sheep?? NO. of course not. You people are delusional and need to educate yourselves. Simple logic: People that hit you and HURT your body do not LOVE you. Read that again. We don't beat our spouses, our pets, or anyone else. Why would you think it's okay to hit a child? THINK. God gave you a BRAIN. USE IT. Why would you hit a kid instead of disciplining in better ways that will TEACH him concepts of life? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHmzZIeoireta8ksi=9-Pj0KsaluyRL7uc

I love that song ever changing woman

Wonderful!!! Amen Amen

if you believe that spanking your child is abuse then you are the problem with todays society.

Love your interpretation of one if my favorite songs. ❤

What I see is two racists trying to justify child abuse.

AMEN 😊

Good to see you Ricky Phelps old friend dayman Childress hart co ky see you got it right god bless

Banjo Ben is one of my favorite humans. He does so much to help budding young musicians everywhere. His website by the way is top of the mark. He's a good man with a good heart.

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing 😊

Holy knowledge isn't the same as knowledge, which is why common sense is not so common 🙄

Thank you for sharing Ricky. He has changed my life forever. I’m proud to say that I am part of his congregation here in Florida. I’m indebted to the mechanic who gave him the Bible. Ricky is truly a blessed soul who has saved mine.

I really need to just say- No Words. I have enjoyed every single podcast. You have inspired me, even at 79, to live out the Word. I have a thirst for the Word, and unfortunately have few avenues with people who share my thirst. Therefore, to see my son-in-law and grandson have that thirst and actually have a platform on which to share, is huge to me. It almost makes me want to move to TN so I could have someone who would put up with my endless questions and thoughts. Thank you for being such a bright spot in every single week for me. ❤❤

Soooo many married people in church use Christian 'love' as an excuse for flirting, physical contact, lust in hearts, and usually ends up in people acting out.

Just listened to Wayne Shepherd and First Person. What a powerful testimony. Really got to me, especially your closing statement. Your music is beautiful.

I just finished listening to this podcast. As always, it was promoting truth in a world which is promoting the opposite of truth. I appreciate the effort you guys have put into sharing truth and reminding people what truth is. Everything you discussed is truth supported by God's Word which is not popular today. We live in a sick and demented world of people who have lost their way and don't know the simple answer to truth and peace and joy and all good things. You are doing your part, and that's all you can do. THANK YOU for being the voice in the wilderness calling people to truth and happiness and contentment. ♥

I found this very interesting. There were some good points made like pour yourself into your elections of locals even if you don’t think you have a choice nationally. However, I could tell that panel members didn’t agree on how to handle the presidential election- and rightfully so. It’s a tough call. I have my thoughts on it as well, but wisdom tells me to hold off and see what materializes over the months ahead. God help us all! ❤️

THERE SHALL BE no coercion in matters of faith. Distinct has now become the right way from [the way of] error: hence, he who rejects the powers of evil and believes in God has indeed taken hold of a support most unfailing, which shall never give way: for God is all-hearing, all-knowing. (2:256)

Oh so what every religious nutjob does then? "Oh he just needs jesus" no thanks im buddhist....

How about you keep your imaginary sky daddy to yourself. Not in my laws, not in my schools.

I need examples of a religion that is imposed on the people. As bad as our government is, I see no evidence of this happening. The only thing I can think of is Satanism as imposed by the media, our Congress and Agencies and most churches, so-called.. But this is not imposition. It is phycological. I've go no clue what this guy is talking about.

It sounds like the logic of hundreds of years ago. I'm not even sure what country you live in right now.

Amen 🙏

These are things that need to be settled and cleared up in the minds of Christians. There comes a time when we have to stand up and say “Enough already!” If we don’t become active, we will lose our country.

This old world is full of empty pleasures, that leads us to destruction. Thank you for posting this video.

What an encouragement to be mindful about sharing the gospel! You have reminded me and challenged me to remember wherever I go to realize I have Christ with me, and I need to share! He is the most important relationship in my life, and I don't need to keep this Good News to myself. Thank for refreshing my mine to remember to go Tell the Good News!

Yes I agree GOD IS GOOD. I'm going to the Shift tomorrow
