Encouraging thoughts …..
“All families are called to glorify God according to their gifts. What does that look like? That is the man’s responsibility.”
—Dr. John Piper
“Spiritual Parenting is not perfect parenting — it’s parenting from a spiritual perspective with eternity in mind. I first honor God, and then second, create the best environment to put my children in the path of the Divine.”
—Michelle Anthony
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
— The Apostle John (3 John 1:4)
“Our lives speak loudly to those around us, especially the children in our home.”
—Billy Graham
“The greatest gift that a man can give his kids is to love his wife.”
— Dr. Gary Ezzo
“When it comes to kid’s faith, parents get what they are.”
—Christian Smith
“There are five gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and the Christian. Most people will never read the first four.”
Gipsy Smith
“Being a kind, emperor, or president is mighty small potatoes compared to being a mother. Commanding an army is little more than sweeping a street compared with training a boy or girl. The mother of Moses did more for the world than all the kings that Egypt ever had. Oh, you wait until you reach the mountains of eternity, then read the mothers' names in God's Hall of Fame.”
—Billy Sunday
T. S. Eliot, The Idea of a Christian Society.
“The problem of leading a Christian life in a non-Christian society is now very present to us ……. And as for the Christian who is not conscious of his dilemma—and he is in the majority—he is becoming more and more de-Christianized by all sorts of unconscious pressure: paganism holds all the most valuable advertising space.”
