Necessity of Family Discipline The state of many in ----- is truly alarming; especially is this the case with a majority of the youth. Families have moved to the place with the understanding that they were not to burden the church, but to be a help to it. With a considerable number the result has been quite the contrary. The neglect of parents to properly discipline their children has been a fruitful source of evil in many families. The youth have not been restrained as they should have been. Parents have neglected to follow the directions of the word of God in this matter, and the children have taken the reins of government into their own hands. The consequence has been that they have generally succeeded in ruling their parents instead of being under their authority. {4T 192.3}

Disciplin i familien nødvendig
Manges tilstand i ___ er virkelig alarmerende; især for de fleste unge. Familier er flyttet til stedet for ikke at bebyrde menigheden, men for at blive den til hjælp. Med et betydeligt antal medlemmer er resultatet blevet det stik modsatte. Forældre forsømmer at opdrage deres børn ordentligt; og det har været den onde kilde i mange familier. De unge er ikke blevet tæmmet som de burde. Forældre har forsømt at følge anvisninger i Guds ord om dette og børnene har tøjlerne i deres egne hænder. Konsekvensen er, at de faktisk styrer deres forældre, i stedet for at de kommer under deres myndighed.
