Is it Right to Spank Your Child?

Have you ever walked to the front of a store when you hear a child screaming at the top of their lungs because they want something and the parent has said they couldn't have it? What is your first thought when that happens? Mine goes something like this, "Man, that parent should pick that kid up and swat their butt!" Spanking is one of the most controversial discipline methods. On one side of the debate …

…in Proverbs 19:18 says, "Discipline your children while there is hope. If you don't, you will ruin their lives." And with that I say that if you spare your kids the pain of a spanking, you might as well build them a room in the basement of your home because there is no way they could make it on their own as adults.
