Nothing is more needful to the Christian character than discipline, and quite possibly none a better teacher on the topic than Dr. Edman.
“Ours is an undisciplined age. The old disciplines are breaking down, and the foundations of society appear to be crumbling. The discipline of the home seems to be vanishing in the new psychology which teaches: parents obey your children! … Above all, the discipline of divine grace is derided as legalism or is entirely unknown to a generation that is largely illiterate in the Scriptures.
We need the rugged strength of Christian character that can come only from discipline: the discipline of spirit, of mind, of body, of society.
Otherwise, the home will lose its heart as well as its hearth, the schoolroom its strength, the textbooks their exactness, the Scriptures their sanction.” ~V.R. Edman

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: V. Raymond Edman, Ph.D, LL.D (1900-1967), after nine months of being laid up with critical heart trouble, stood in the chapel of Wheaton College and began his message to the student body with these words: “This will be the first time in more than ten months that I have attempted to speak in public. But I want you to consider with me an invitation to visit a King.”
In the middle of the message, he succumbed to a heart attack and entered into the presence of the King of kings and Lord of lords.
No man was more disciplined than Dr. Edman, and he often dwelt on discipline in his messages. He served as president of Wheaton College for 25 years and two years as chancellor. He was not only an educator but also a missionary to the Quichua Indians in the Andes, Ecuador, South America from 1923 to 1928.
