Chastening 1 1he older children accompanied Mother and Daddy to church conference. Motoring together was a pleasant experience as we fellowshipped in spiritual and family affairs. “Why is it that preachers’ chil dren and preachers themselves come in for so much criticism on the part of the church folk?” one son asked. “You’d think that of all people in the world to under stand that we can’t be perfect any more than they are, par ishioners would understand.” “ There are several reasons for that state of affairs, son,” Daddy answered as he steered our long car around a massive truck. “ Sa tan never sleeps. He designs to bring all the divisive elements possible into the church in order to hurt its testimony. If the preacher is true to the Word in his preaching ministry, that Word will work to bring convic tion in lives. Some folk try to throw off that conviction by per secuting those who teach them. “Then too, since preachers’ families are not perfect, it is often necessary that God disci pline us as well as the laymen. Persecution from w i t h i n the church can be God’s method of ‘spanking’ His under-shepherd.” Dorotheann understood some thing of discipline and soon was saying: “ I don’t understand par ents. When they spank you it hurts and you have to cry. Then they tell you to hush.” After the laughter died away Daddy spoke. “ I know it is hard to understand parents sometimes, Sweetie. Hebrews 12:10 says that parents ‘chasten their children after their own pleasure,’— or as it seems good to them, and we are bound to make mistakes. But God the Father chastens for our profit that ‘we might be partak ers of his holiness.’ I pray I’ll al ways profit by the disciplining whether I understand or not.” “ So do we,” came the chorus response.
