“We departed, and went on our journey; and they all, with
wives and children, brought us on our way.” Acts 21:5
I trust that if the Lord is gracious to our churches
today, half of the people added to them will be the children of Christian parents
and the other half will be people rescued from the world.
The gospel does indeed rescue people from the world, but a
church cannot be strong if the increase comes only from that quarter and not also
from the children of its members. We should hope to see a steady flow coming
also from Christian families. People such as Timothy must be brought in through
the influence of a Lois and Eunice. Thereby will the church be greatly enriched.
To lead your children to God, you must yourself walk ahead
and let them follow. The standard of faith which you pursue will contribute
largely toward theirs.
