Create Reasonable Boundaries for Your Kids

The word “discipline” has fallen on hard times, especially as it relates to parenting.Some experts say, “How dare you discipline your kids. Let them discover themselves without putting restraints on their behavior.”

Imagine a coach saying, “I believe every athlete will eventually become an Olympian. Don’t worry about hard work and sweat in the gym. Do not impose curfews on the athlete’s time and sleep habits. Physical discipline only stifles an athlete’s ability to become his or her best self.” Are you kidding? That coach would not send many athletes to the Olympics.

An undisciplined life is an accident waiting to happen. That is why parents must lovingly correct their children and create reasonable boundaries for them.

“Every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.”
Romans 8:28 MSG

I have been listening to Something Good Radio for several weeks. I gain new insights weekly that I can apply to my life. After a recent broadcast, I got down on my knees, confessed my sins, repented, and asked Jesus to be part of my life. Thanks to God's grace and mercy, you showed me His love. I am a new Christian because of your efforts.

Thank you so much for preaching the unchanging and powerful word of God every day on the airwaves. My wife and I are originally from India, and now live in Melbourne, Australia. . . . We love to listen to you breaking the Bread of Life. Keep upholding the word of truth in an increasingly dark and dying world.

Something Good happened to me this morning. I listened to Ron's broadcast from last week and feel a renewed sense of hope and encouragement! It was exactly what I needed to hear―to be reminded that our God of yesterday, today and tomorrow will answer my prayers.

Ron's messages on Something Good Radio have brought me back to God and have led me to rededicate my life to Him.

I just want to take this moment to thank the Lord for what He is doing through you. ... We are thoroughly blessed by the wonderful expository preaching! There is so much more I could say, but I will end here. Thank you. my dear brother, so much.
