“Godly marriages and their fruit of faithful children change the world. Thus, the first job of Christian parents is to evangelize and disciple their own children. Their children are their closest neighbors, the poor and needy among them, who need the gospel. Raising godly children spreads the kingdom of Christ”

“So what is there to learn from the men and women of the Reformation? For starters, the Reformers preached the Word of God and encouraged people to read it themselves. Nothing has a more powerful impact on societies than the faithful teaching and practice of God’s Word.”

“Prior to and even during the Reformation, the prevailing belief in Germany (if not elsewhere) was that educating women was unnecessary and could be dangerous. Intellectual pursuits might be a disadvantage to them, and learning to read might put them in contact with worldly writings.10 Those sent to the convent for an education did not always learn to read, because their teachers did not always know how to read.11 By contrast, the German Reformers pushed for universal education, and this idea eventually spread to encompass all women in the Western world. No one should be denied an education, it was argued, because who could say what person, man or woman, God would choose as an instrument for His glory?”
