Family Shepherds by Baucham

I am reading through Baucham's Family Shepherds.  As with any book, there are things I agree & disagree with.  Here are a few quotes related to parenting:

"Hence, doing good is something that one can accomplish apart from Christ through proper conditioning.  This is a direct contradiction of Jesus' teaching. . ."

"The result is a child-training approach that relies on behavior modification as opposed to spiritual transformation."

"As Tedd Tripp writes, "Addressing the child's character places the emphasis on issues of the heart. It enables you to get underneath the behavior and address the thoughts, motives, and purposes of the heart."

"This is the heart of formative discipline. We must bring our children back to the cross again and again. We must teach them why they sin, what the consequences are, and how Christ is their only hope."

"If you can't find a precept in the Bible, ask yourself why you've deemed the behavior so heinous. . .you may be requiring more than God does."

"We must call them (our children & us) to repentance."

"If we do nothing else, we must pray for our children. This is the heart of a true family shepherd. . . Prayer will remind me that I'm in a spiritual battle with eternal consequences. And prayer will bend my will toward God and my heart toward my children.
