Right Or Wrong? i
“Whoever loves discipline
Discipline is a necessary in
loves knowledge, but he who
hates reproof is stupid.” Pro
verbs 12:1.
gredient in the lives of all peo
ple who succeed in life. It is
as necessary to an adult as it
is to a young person. In fact
those adults who often bemoan j
the lack of discipline in the life I
of a son or daughter woull do ;
well to look to their own lives j
that their children’s lack of dis- '
cipline is strictly the product ,
of an undisciplined environ- I
ment.
The church has the duty of i
providing needed discipline for
adults. In its call to service 1
and in its invitation to sit down
and think about this thing of
spiritual responsibility, the
church leads its people into
more disciplined living than
they otherwise would attain. j
What are the requirements of '
discipline ?
The first that I would list is j
respect for others. The moth- I
er who shirks her household re- I
sponsibilities shows that she !
has no genuine respect for ;
those who look to her for do
mestic leadership. The student
who is a nuisance in class is
failing to be respectful to his
teacher and his fellow students.
Respect demands a price. It
asks that we think about the j
other fellow. This concern will i
constrain annoying activity and
inspire creative activity in be
half of those for whom we have !
consideration. In other words
discipline will result from con
cern.
The second requirement is
self-respect. Keeping in mind
the advice of Paul, “No man
should think more highly of
himsel fthan he ought to think,”
a person should make an as
sessment of himself. Do I feel
inferior to others? Do I try to
gain the attention of others
through loud talk, odd behavi
our or boisterous laughter? Is
being noticed for an accom
plishment more important to
me than the thing accomplish
ed?
The answers to even these
simple questions may well indi- ,
cate whether you respect your- <
self. If the answer's are “yes”,
it means that you lack self-re
spect. You go out of your way
to attract notice, to prove your
self. Only persons who are in
secure and lack a good opinion
of themselves seek to prove
themselves. In proving them
selves discipline is of necessity
thrown to the winds.
Respect for God is the third
requirement for discipline. To
respect God means much more
than occasional acts of piety
such as going to church, con
tributing to church and charity,
“doing a good deed,” and sing
ing religious songs. The au
thor of Proverbs writes, “who
ever loves discipline loves
knowledge.” Respect for God
means to get involved with the
Bible and with the church in
such degree that you become an
intellectual on each subject.
Your respect for God has led
you on a disciplined course of
study and effort so that you
might more perfectly know the
will of God for your life and so
that you might more zealously
and efectively do that will.
Disciplined living is satisfac
tory living; a truly disciplined
—and I don’t mean regimented
—life is lived by one who re
spects others, himself, and the
God who made him.

HOW IMPORTANT
IS YOUR CHURCH
TO YOU?
Oh, don’t say you’re too busy. You have just as much
time as anyone does. We all have the same amount of •
time.
Yes, we know you need a little recreation. A good game
of golf does wonders for the morale. Nothing like fishing,
especially when you catch some. Swimming is so
refreshing!
But your soul needs refreshing, too. You need to wor
ship as well as to play.
There are 168 hours in every week. Surely you can take
two or three of them for Sunday school and church — and
still have plenty of time for everything else. Take care of
your spiritual life as well as your physical life.
Worship God in church every week.
