Russell D. Moore
“Churches that don’t celebrate children aren’t going to celebrate evangelism. After all, the “be fruitful and multiply” clause in Genesis is echoed in the Great Commission of Jesus (Matt. 28:16–20), a mission that also seeks to fill the entire earth.”
Russell D. Moore, Adoption: What Joseph of Nazareth Can Teach Us about This Countercultural Choice

Russell D. Moore
“But wouldn’t we see more women willing to give their children life if they’d seen with their own eyes what an adoption culture looks like? And wouldn’t these mothers and fathers, who may themselves feel unwanted, be a bit more ready to hear our talk about a kingdom where all are welcomed?”
Russell D. Moore, Adoption: What Joseph of Nazareth Can Teach Us about This Countercultural Choice

Jerram Barrs
“and that sinners need mercy (Matt. 9:9–13; 11:19; Luke 7:39; 19:7). The rules that are intended to make us pure are essentially designed to try to keep us apart from sinful people, and to keep our children apart from sinful children or children from sinful homes. We teach our children to be undefiled and separate rather than to show mercy—then, when they grow up, we wonder why they find evangelism to be so difficult.”
Jerram Barrs, Learning Evangelism from Jesus

Russell D. Moore
“Children disrupt plans, and blessedly so. They might disrupt yours. It’s easy to resent this disruption and lash out against it, perhaps not in murder but in the anger that’s the root of murder (Matt. 5:21–22).”

“that the more children are read to, the higher their test scores are—sometimes by as much as a half a year’s schooling. This was true regardless of a family’s income. He goes on to say that reading aloud has proven to be so powerful in increasing a child’s academic success that it is more effective than expensive tutoring or even private education.”
Sarah Mackenzie, The Read-Aloud Family: Making Meaningful and Lasting Connections with Your Kids
