Famous Christian Quotes About Parents, Parenting

A Child’s Influence

The power for good or evil that resides in a little child is great beyond all human calculation. A child rightly trained may be a worldwide blessing, with an influence reaching onward to eternal years. But a neglected or misdirected child may live to blight and blast mankind, and leave influences of evil which shall roll on in increasing volume till they plunge into the gulf of eternal perdition.

The Importance of Pious Education in Children

The speediest way to turn your children into swords to wound your very soul is to suffer them for want of pious education to wander from God and his word. Such parents, like Eli, bring up their children to bring down their houses, and to bring their own souls to the earth with grief.
