DidYouKnow+FollowGod never said “Spare the rod, spoil the child.” Many grew up believing strict physical discipline is biblical. But the Hebrew word muwcar (discipline) refers primarily to guidance, correction, and instruction, not corporal punishment. Proverbs emphasizes wisdom and instruction, not hitting. That matters, because older believers sometimes regret harsh parenting. They think God commanded what they now feel guilty about. Scripture does not equate punishment with faithfulness. It equates teaching, modeling, and guidance. If you carried regret for discipline, that does not mean you failed God’s call. It means you learned what love truly requires. #BibleMisconceptions #BiblicalParenting #FaithAndWisdom #ChristianReflection #DidYouKnow8437Share
How Are You Feeling+FollowI Learned Forgiveness Can Be Smart I used to think forgiving meant being naive. Joseph in Genesis 50:19-21 changed that view. The Hebrew words salach and yashar show that forgiveness can coexist with wisdom. Joseph released guilt but acted prudently with his brothers. That was a revelation. I can forgive without being blind. I can let go of resentment and still protect my heart. It takes courage to release, and sense to navigate carefully—but both are part of God’s way. I feel freer knowing I can forgive and still be wise. #Forgiveness #BibleTruth #ChristianReflection #FaithAndWisdom #TheVerseYouSkipped 452Share
