Spare The Rod, Spoil The Child

"Alan and Jan Masters co-host today's Perilous World Radio program, drawing on their vast experience raising four children and five grandchildren. They begin by discussing what is meant by the word "rod" in the phrase "spare the rod, spoil the child... That love is the moderating influence when a mother is too "nurturing," or a father too strict... That meditation—as taught by Alan's father Roy Masters—is the key to finding the "secret place" where God's love resides. They also discussed the significant role the education system plays in "feeding our children to the wolves," and how important it is for parents to guard against this kind of damaging influence... That we should never give up on our kids."
