Wholly Holy, Part XI

Discipline. The word immediately conjures up a negative connotation. Even the Bible states, \u201cno discipline is pleasant at the time\u201d. But, the Bible is also clear, \u201cGod disciplines those He loves\u201d. God is in the discipline business. This can be punishment, but not always. Discipline is much broader than punishment. It goes further. It\u2019s refinement. It\u2019s purification. It\u2019s sanctifying. God\u2019s discipline is a lifelong process of making us more like Him.
