INTRODUCTION
A christian shouldn’t have to get up every morning and try to figure out from scratch their purpose for being on the planet.
If Jesus commanded His disciples to go and make other disciples, when are you a disciple?
The root word of disciple is discipline.

—DERIVATIVES disciplinable adjective disciplinal /ˌdɪsɪˈplʌɪn(ə)l, ˈdɪsɪˌplɪn(ə)l/ adjective disciplinary adjective
—ORIGIN Middle English (in the sense ‘mortification by scourging oneself’): via Old French from Latin disciplina ‘instruction, knowledge’, from discipulus (see DISCIPLE).
I’ve heard it said, that discipline is the root word of Disciple, but actually, that’s backwards, as we see above.
Disciple is the root word of discipline.
Someone who is teachable, is someone who has discipline.
Knowledge and Discipline go hand in hand.
We will not get knowledge without discipline, and you will not get disciplined without a respect for knowledge.
At the heart of sin and the flesh is a lack of discipline.
A few scriptures regarding child discipline:
I’m always amazed at parents that believe they are more compassionate and merciful than God.
If you want great kids, don’t give them everything they want; give God everything He wants.
In God’s mind child discipline is not optional.
All these principles apply to all of us, we are all God’s children.
We are all spiritual children.
C.S. Lewis - The Problem with Pain
“We can ignore even pleasure.
But pain insists upon being attended to.
God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
“Love may, indeed, love the beloved when her beauty is lost: but not because it is lost.
Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.
Love is more sensitive than hatred itself to every blemish in the beloved… Of all powers he forgives most, but he condones least: he is pleased with little, but demands all.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
Ouch
If we don’t require discipline in our family, in our relationships, it is because we lack discipline in our own lives.
Discipline is a prerequisite for leadership.
