“Dare we let children grow up with no vital contact with the Saviour, never intentionally and consciously put into His arms? Not to bring them to Him, not to teach them to walk toward Him, as soon as they can walk toward anyone, is wronging a child beyond words. The terrible indictment uttered by the Lord, "Them that were entering in ye hindered," and the millstone warning for offending little ones, are close akin to the deserts of those who ruin a man's whole day of life by wronging his morning hours. Not to help a child to know the saving power of Christ is to hold back a man from salvation.” KnowsMenChildrenLittlesWholeHelpingGrowsChristHoursWalksLordTeachMorningGrowing UpChildhoodArmsTerribleSalvationDareContactRuinsSavingDesertWarningEnteringSaviourOffendingIndictment Author:Maltbie Davenport Babcock

“Most young people seem to be behaving very intelligently: They look at things once in a while, but then they find it so idiotic and uncool that they just look away again.
