Session 1: Discipline for Delight by Faith | Manny Pereira | Parenting for Christ’s Praise | To God’s Glory and the Joy of Our Families | September 27, 2025 | Trinity Bible Church, Morgan Hill, CA | trinitybiblechurch.org
The session briefly introduces the book The Not So Loving Side of Gentle Parenting and underscores the importance of grounding Christian parenting in Scripture. It reviews the necessity of discipline, not merely as corrective action but as a loving, formative process aimed at a child’s true delight and ultimate well-being. The outline addresses key concepts such as the difference between “punish” and “discipline,” preventative and corrective discipline, verbal reproof, and corporal discipline. It also highlights the cultural confusion surrounding discipline, stressing the need for Christian parents to hold firm convictions based on biblical truth amidst societal shifts that often equate discipline with abuse. Ultimately, the session calls parents to steward God’s grace in raising children for His glory and the child’s joy.
