Scripture and encouragement for intentionally raising children in the Lord.

Proverbs 19:18
"Discipline your children, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to their death."
Discipline is framed as an act of hope rather than mere punishment. Withholding it is portrayed as participating in a child's potential ruin. In hard seasons when correction feels exhausting or ineffective, this verse urges parents not to give up, because the alternative is far more costly.
