Article 6.1. 6 Accept Wise Counsel and Discipline

For leaders and those in authority, a unwillingness to discipline will ruin the house.

I am quite sure that wise counsel and discipline are important to obtaining wisdom. In fact, abhorring a word of correction is the quality of fools.

• Get all the advice you can and be wise the rest of your life (Proverbs 19:20)
• If you refuse criticism you will end in the poverty and disgrace; if you accept criticism you are on the road to fame (Proverbs 13:8)

For leaders and those in authority, a unwillingness to discipline will ruin the house.

• If you refuse to discipline your son, it proves you don’t love him: for if you love him you will be prompt to punish him (Proverbs 13:4)
• Sometimes mere words are not enough - discipline is needed. For words may not be heeded. (Proverbs: 29:19)

ACTION POINT: Seek wise counsel and establish a habit of personal discipline.
