  • Summary

  • Here is pure gold! A mother lode of wisdom! Tremendous upside and terrible downside! If you ignore inspired wisdom for worldly drivel, there will be painful consequences. But if you humble yourself before this proverb and put it into practice, you will be blessed. King Solomon taught child training. He explained it โ€“ he guaranteed it โ€“ and he warned about neglecting it. The future success and prosperity of his nation depended on it, just as the future success and prosperity of your family depends on it. Hear the inspired king! A short American proverb, โ€œSpare the rod and spoil the child,โ€ is true (Pr 13:24; 19:18; 23:13-14). But, โ€œSpare the rod and shame the parents,โ€ is also true, as the proverb here declares. Training children is a win-win proposition: children benefit, and parents benefit. All children are born with a default mechanism to foolishness, and they must be corrected by reproofs and corporal punishment for them to learn wisdom and be successful (Pr 22:6,15; 29:17). This is one of the simplest rules of life, and it is most certain. If these methods of child training are neglected, the child will be a painful disgrace to its parents. Do you want your children to be wise? Wisdom is the power of right judgment. It is knowing the right thing to do in any situation โ€“ and doing it! Wisdom secures favor with God and men (Luke 2:52). It is the character of a godly person that makes him valuable to all the lives he touches. It will bring success in any endeavor the child pursues. Children are born ignorant; they must be taught the simplest tasks. Reproof is reprimands and warnings against wrong conduct. The rod is for physical punishment, to reinforce the verbal reproof. As a child grows, foolishness is visible in its heart (Pr 22:15). But the rod of correction will drive folly away โ€“ it will teach the child wisdom (Pr 22:6,15; 29:17). A properly trained child is disciplined, diligent, and devoted. She is gracious, loving, and pure. He is noble, stable, and trustworthy. They are faithful and productive at their callings, charming and courteous in public, moral and virtuous in private, and esteemed by all who know them. This is wisdom; right use of reproof and the rod will produce it. Nations once knew this fundamental axiom of child training. Flogging was the universal means of maintaining order in the home, school, and military. (See the entry in any edition of Encyclopedia Britannica before the ACLU, PETA, NOW, UN, and PTA began extorting editorial changes.) But many today are foolishly experimenting with children. Bloated intellectually with profane speculations about origins, life, and morality (I Tim 6:20), their effeminate and permissive conclusions have spawned arrogant, amoral, and anarchic children that are a disgusting shame. Measured by the criteria of the fear of the Lord, godly wisdom, and temperate lives, they are a total loss. A whole generation lost down the drain! Where is grandpaโ€™s hickory stick, when it is so desperately needed? Rather than train them with the proven methods of reproof and corporal punishment, little Johnny is told he is special just as he is. He is coddled, pampered, and praised no matter what he does to himself or anyone else. His temper tantrums are self-expression; his lack of self-control is hyperactivity; his rebellion is independence; his promiscuity is extra affection; his violence is a strong personality; and his arson is spontaneous creativity! When Johnny gets too violent to handle, a school nurse gives him Ritalin or other narcotics to sedate him. If that is not enough, he is removed to a foster home or mental institution. He ends up a drugged, discarded, divorced, dysfunctional, and depressed social experiment. Thank you, Ben Spock, for your wisdom. But, of course, you know better now, for even you had figured out before you died that your ideas were wrong.
