“Take care, then, what you do before a child. It is a true proverb, ‘Who sins before a child, sins double.’ Strive rather to be a living epistle of Christ, such as your families can read, and that plainly too. Be an example of reverence for the Word of God, reverence I prayer, reverence for means of grace, reverence for the Lord’s Day (J.C. Ryle, The Duties of Parents, p. 48).”
