Why Children Matter

by Douglas Wilson

The righteousness of liberty outdoes the legalist, and the joy of liberty outdoes the libertine.

True discipline is about restored fellowship.

Childrearing is preparation for life in the kingdom of God as it interacts with the kingdom of man.

Godly parenting is a function of becoming more like Jesus in the presence of little ones who are also in the process of becoming more like Jesus.

Is it possible that in this situation, God is holding up a mirror to you so that you would begin your correction of them by repenting of your own sin?

When you discipline your children correctly, you are loving your grandchildren.

He is going to take you from where you are, not from where you should have been.
