But my children were not created for my pleasure. They were created for God’s pleasure and he needs them to have character, to grow in maturity and to possess self-discipline. I simply have the privilege of being one of their guardians for a season.

He's right. It is our responsibility to nurture our children so that they have a Godly character. Many kids are too spoiled, and many are lacking in Godly character. They have no respect for anyone or anything.

He might be right on a secular level, but by not cloaking what he is saying in the Gospel he is just handing out law.

There are people with great character in Hell. There are murderers in Heaven.
