Family Values For America – Disciplining Our Children in the Way of Christ
Prov 13:24: “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes (diligently).”
We live in complex times. Technology, media and entertainment are changing the very moral fabric of our country. How do we, as parents walk through these complex waters? How do we raise children who grow up as sturdy Christians that serve God and country? It begins with the parent. Parents have the largest role in teaching their children to be adults and helping them grow into healthy, mature individuals. This begins, by teaching them what is right and wrong, providing a beacon through the turbulent waters of modern life.
If our children are to grow up and become Christians, it begins with us. And where do we, as adults find guidance? In the good book. I read:
Prov 19:18: “Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.”
The liberal media today chastens us for corporal punishment in our schools, and it is stretching into our homes, for those of us that use the will of God to teach our children to grow up correctly. The above verse to me speaks to the heart of the matter- we must not fail soft to our children’s tears, if our fierce love of the Christ dictates we must punish them for evil.
My name is Baron Stacey Quinn and I am a certified public accountant in the great state of Kentucky. My family stretches back into the Civil War and have deep roots in our community. I have 2 boys, one 14, the other 16. Both of them are troublemakers in their own ways- one of my boys, Jonathan who is the 14 year old (some of you may remember me posting this) had a Danica Patrick poster on his walls and I found it when I came home from work. I immediately, pulled him over my leg, pulled his pants down and spanked him vigorously and completely. While he did shed tears, afterwards he dutifully tore the poster from the walls and knelt down and prayed with me in his bedroom for his immortal soul. The next day, he was quiet and contemplative at breakfast- the lord’s punishment did its job.
And again, I read the mighty proverbs: Prov 23:14: “Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell”
Truly, we must use the rod, which in our times is the hand, to teach the child about morality. My other son of 16, Nathan I found watching the show Glee with his friends, and thankfully after the faithful article here on Christwire, I ordered him out of the room, shut off the television, and pulled his pants down and spanked him over the kitchen table. This not only served as a lesson to him, but also his friends- they no longer watch this show in my house and the surely learnt a lesson on the will of God through this. Nathan immediately went to his room, and I forbid my wife from comforting him- I am teaching him to be a man!
So how best to discipline your child? The following is a model that I have found works:
- Have the child bend over your leg, or a table, or a chair
- Pull down their pants
- Use your entire hand vigorously bringing it down on his buttocks, with your entire hand striking the surface of the skin
- Each time you strike, cry out “The will of Christ!” loudly
Truly, this is only one way we can help our children learn morality. My children will NOT fall into the trap of watching suggestive television, worshipping temptress women, or eating foods from the communist countries in Asia. And through this, they learn to be men! Praise! I leave you with these words:
“Father’s, do not exasperate your children, instead bring them up in the training and instruction of the lord” Ephesians 6:4 NIV
- Sinful
- Suspicious
- Scared
- Sad
- Amused
- Laughing Out Loud

What a great article. Way to site scripture and facts. My kids are a little bit older and pretty well behaved, so I don’t expect to have to use this, but I will share this immediately with some of the parents in the fellowship and to the school district.

This is the kind of article we need. Scripture always gives me chills.
“Father’s, do not exasperate your children, instead bring them up in the training and instruction of the lord” Ephesians 6:4
Kids today think that ‘exasperate’ means they get a neck rub with their spankin’. I appreciate you clearing this up for all of us.
Kind regards and Praise clicks!

Oh gee, Stacey, probably because they aren’t fucking five years old anymore? Hell, you even admitted that you made him drop his pants before you smacked him, so there’s grounds for sexual assault as well! You hit him just because he had a poster that you didn’t like, and odds are he isn’t saying anything because you’ll probably take your fist to his face the next time. People like you are sick and twisted enough to do it. Then you wonder ‘where did I go wrong’ when they start doing shit that will kill them or rebelling against you so much that they spit in your face, quite literally.

I’m singing “this little light of mine” just for you, Brother Baron. Most of these young ones need a good ‘reset of values’ as we like to call it in our home.
While teens don’t come with a little hole that you need to push a pencil in to reset the brain like on a computer, they do reset their values with some insightful discipline.

Yep, any problems with your kids can be solved with a good beating, rather than, say, talking to them about the problem and explaining why what they did is wrong. What a ridiculous idea. Cause common sense is way overrated.

I can’t believe you August. First of all, why would we want gays to rape kids? Where did you get that idea from? Just because we aren’t exactly like you doesn’t mean we are like that. And just because someone is gay doesn’t mean that they want to rape kids. You are a truly horrible person to say that. Also, as millenium said, you cry about abortions, but you fully support beating your wife and kids. You are irrational.

Greetings all. Thank you Mr. Quinn for such a wonderfully written article. Although I have no children of my own, I would like to punish my nephews from time to time for their behaviors!
To the other posters- I assume you are part of the liberal establishment that desires to tell parents how to parent, to raise children who are weak of mind and spirit, and who condone filth and depravity but will not grant the freedom for parents to raise their children as they see fit.
If you do not believe this, then you belong in a Communist Country such as North Korea, where the government will be spanking you vs the parent- whose responsibility it is. I do not want the government to spank me or tell me how to live. That is my right as a member of the US of A!

Uh, you seem to have it backwards. We don’t give two shits what ‘God’ thinks, and even if we do, we’re completely accepting of people who are gay. YOU, on the other hand, are sexually-repressed individuals who firmly believe that homosexuals are devil spawn or some other nonsense and hate them with an unnatural fury, and typically people who are like you tend to be deep in the closet because you’re constantly conflicting with your true self and the being you present to other people.

What’s your problem with gay people anyway? All the Gay people I know are often friendlier than straight people, so surely if God condemned them that much, he would make them dislikable at least? I am not gay, but generally I like gay people because they’re honest about being gay (even if they are Christian) and so are braver than most not to be afraid of people like you.

Whats sick is raising kids not teaching them right from wrong! I can’t believe how corrupt so many people’s minds are that spanking a child when they do wrong is a bad thing! Yet raising a gay, gothic,unmarried teen who gets pregnant or impregnants, a party animal, drug addict, , club goer, stripper, greedy for money and other luxurious things, cheater, lying, thief, fighting, murder, these are all things that are part of everyday life and have become “normal” and only getting worse because lost naive souls think spanking is wrong!!!!!!!!!
Personally I do not agree with spanking with a hand the hands should be for love and nurture a belt or paddle for discipline TAKE THAT SINNERS!
