“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).”

“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.”

“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

“Scripture requires that true worship and faithful teaching are to focus on dealing with the sins of the church and believers, instead of the sins of those outside the church, in the world. The sharpest criticisms in Jesus’ teaching are reserved for those who see themselves as devoted worshipers of the Lord. We do not see Jesus condemning the sinners in the world; rather, he condemns the leaders of God’s people with his severest words.”
― Jerram Barrs, Learning Evangelism from Jesus
