“Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.” — Joel 1:3
In this simple way, by God’s grace, a living testimony for truth is always to be kept alive in the land — the beloved of the Lord are to hand down their witness for the gospel, and the covenant to their heirs, and these again to their next descendants. This is our first duty, we are to begin at the family hearth: he is a bad preacher who does not commence his ministry at home. The heathen are to be sought by all means, and the highways and hedges are to be searched, but home has a prior claim, and woe unto those who reverse the order of the Lord’s arrangements. To teach our children is a personal duty; we cannot delegate it to Sunday School Teachers, or other friendly aids, these can assist us, but cannot deliver us from the…
sacred
obligation; proxies and sponsors are wicked devices in this case: mothers
and fathers must, like Abraham, command their households in the fear of
God, and talk with their offspring concerning the wondrous works of the
Most High. Parental teaching is a natural duty — who so fit to look to the
child’s well-being as those who are the authors of his actual being? To
neglect the instruction of our offspring is worse than brutish. Family
religion is necessary for the nation, for the family itself, and for the church
of God. By a thousand plots Popery is covertly advancing in our land, and
one of the most effectual means for resisting its inroads is left almost
neglected, namely, the instruction of children in the faith. Would that
parents would awaken to a sense of the importance of this matter. It is a
pleasant duty to talk of Jesus to our sons and daughters, and the more so
because it has often proved to be an accepted work, for God has saved the
children through the parents’ prayers and admonitions. May every house
into which this volume shall come honour the Lord and receive His smile.
