Intent on pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain, the western version of Christianity - marked by moralistic, therapeutic, deism - has little or no way to grapple with or affirm the words of Psalm 94:12 - "Blessed are those you discipline, Lord, those you teach from your law." If we are teaching biblical Christianity to our kids, this will include a heavy emphasis on difficult providences, suffering, and God's discipline. . . all of these things being marks of His love for us.
