Bible teaches.
But not only that, a lot of parents, when they read the Bible's commandment to discipline
their children, to spank their children, they don't do it because they're afraid.
Now a lot of people think spanking is against the law.
Spanking is not against the law.
In fact, I read a statistic, actually my wife read it for me, that 90% of people in America
spank their children.
Did you know that?
90% of Americans spank their children.
But you wouldn't know that, would you?
Because I ask people that are Christians, and they'll make no bones about, "I'm a Christian!"
"Yes, I'm a Christian!"
And they pronounce that everywhere they go.
And then you're like, "Hey, do you spank your kids?"
They're like, "Oh."
And here's the thing, someday spanking will probably be illegal because of that fear,
because of people just not just saying, "Yes, I spank my children."
I mean, you know, my wife spanks the children, she'll spank them publicly, she'll spank them
in the grocery store, she'll tell them, "I'm going to give you a spank."
And nobody blinks an eye because 90% of people are doing it.
But it's like the emperor's new clothes, you know, everybody just kind of doesn't want to
say anything.
Nobody wants to be the one that openly, and people would say, "You've got to be careful
just openly saying you spank."
90% of people are doing it.
And if every pastor would openly say it, and if every Christian would openly say it, and
if every person who's doing it would openly say it, it would never be illegal, would never
be infringed.
But when people are in the closet and hiding it, you know, no, just, "I spank my children."
As the Bible commands, but I've talked to numerous people who said, "Well, I'm afraid
to spank my children because I don't want to get in trouble with the man.
You know, I don't want the law to get on me if I spank my children."
