Jim and Bessie were wonderful mentors to my wife and me both before and after we got married. I've often asked myself "what would they have done" in this or that situation. Thanks for sharing some of their parenting methods.
He Teaches through Story. Maybe, Exegesis 'n proper Biblical Hermen who, Hermeneutics‽-) Ohhhh, too Legit, what's up Bro (it's Lazarus) -just saw it is You, after writing that! Have a great day Brother
Thank you. My parents didn’t spank, and there were 8 of us...no, I think my Dad did eventually try, as the 4 boys came after the 4 girls...but he was a scout master, and they both did their best, and we knew it. Good memories, God bless you.
Delayed Obedience is sometimes, especially when simply procrastinating, DisObedience. But, do not forget what The MASTER Said about the two Son's of the Father who told them to go out n work. The one said 'no', the other 'yes', and "which one went out later after procrastinating]] and Obeyed?", Asks The MASTER.

@austinrothjr I apologize for not properly appraising the value of your perceived entertainment in communication. Some folks communicate for the sake of exchanging ideas. Weighing the validity of such ideas and considering opposing views. Nothing to see here NPC. Please return to your preferred echo-chamber.
@@bradleydel4810 🥱 Sorry. I meant boring as in tiresome and disinteresting. You aren’t as clever as you think you are. Your original comment brought literally nothing new to the conversation. It wasn’t illuminating, thought provoking or challenging. So, yeah. Boring. I actually have some smart abolitionist friends. I’m open to it. Just seems like the arguments have run out and I’m unconvinced for now. I also don’t appreciate bloviating, so I don’t think you have much to win here.
Not much has changed since ‘96 I see. Very clever indeed sir 🥇! Great way to “take a shot” while “avoiding” return fire from a “certain audience” 😅. Great play! 🫡
I wish I had had parents like that. I wish even more that I could have been a parent like that.
💯
Amen to both of your comments. I could have written them myself as they are both applicable.
Yeah. Amen.
You guys should do more of these throwback posts! This one was really great 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I always enjoy the archives.
I was blessed to tears hearing about your Godly parents. You have been incredibly inspiring to me.
Thank you, Doug.

I thank God for the Wisdom and persistence of my parents. I owe a great deal to them, and still rely on their counsel.
beautiful many thanks
Doug's story-telling ability is second to none.
And then there's the teaching ...
He Teaches through Story.

Glorious. Thankful for them and for my parents
Thank you Pastor Wilson, invaluable.
thank you for sharing this!
i needed a reminder that God’s values are what i am to hold and express (not mine)
i am 65 an not so humble, yet.
" I couldn't respect anyone more...", nothing a son could say more meaningful to a dad, dang.

BLESSED TOO!
Wonderful. Thank you Pastor Wilson!
Doug might be the best case for basement spanking on earth
The steadfast love of the Lord...Great is Thy faithfullness

'As long as it's a girl like Nancy Greensides' 😂
What a great comment that was!
I laughed at that because it was so similar to how my great grandmother set up my grandparents.
@@toolegittoquit_001 lol-) Beautiful
Absolutely right! Thank you!
Thank you
Ham, Shem, and Japheth were 100 years old when they obediently boarded their father's ark.
AMEN
I aspire to be such a parent though I'm heartbroken at the lack of such example in my own life.
sometimes familys only teach pain.

While I fully agree I recognize this creates a quandary for children with abusive parents.

if you asked him, he'd say it doesn't matter. wait til you stumble upon the inciting incident for this old essay being repurposed.

No dead person can measure up to a living God. That's the only pronciple that matters.
This makes me think society will become worse while the elect(only) become stronger to be resistant (2 it*) comparatively.
Until the time comes🙏
"Delayed obedience is disobedience." If Doug really believed this, he would change his mind regarding incrementalism
Obedience in one area may look different from obedience in another. Delayed obedience, is not the same as obedient delay/restraint
Abolitionists are boring.
@Me-ic3li are you sure? Your comment is confusing
