Building Strong Families | Part 4 | Provoke Not To Wrath
Description
Discipline is an essential part of parenting, but if done incorrectly, it can wound rather than train. In Part Four of Building Strong Families, Duane Sheriff teaches from Ephesians 6 about the biblical command not to provoke our children to wrath. Every parent faces moments of resistance and frustration, yet God’s Word provides wisdom for disciplining with love instead of reacting in anger.
By recognizing key attitudes like anger, inconsistency, neglect, and harshness, we can guard our children’s hearts and prevent bitterness from taking root. True love sets boundaries with patience, consistency, and grace—always aiming for restoration, not control. Parenting is not about authority alone but about reflecting the Father’s heart and preparing our children to live responsibly before Him. Through understanding, humility, and open communication, we can raise sons and daughters who are secure, respectful, and equipped to walk in God’s ways.
