Charles Spurgeon:
Parents! Your children need to be saved! Their salvation should be a subject of your incessant prayer. You must make earnest endeavors that your children would be converted to God. There must be pleading with, and praying for, the conversion of your children unto the Lord Jesus Christ.
Parents! What have you done for the conversion of your children?
Father, do you ever put your arms around your boy's neck and pray for him, and with him?
Mother, do you ever talk to your little children about Christ and Him crucified? Under God's blessing, you may be a spiritual as well as a natural mother to that beloved child of yours!
Richard Baxter:
Parents! Your children have an everlasting inheritance of happiness to attain--and it is that which you must bring them up for.
They have an endless misery to escape--and it is that which you must diligently teach them.
If you don't teach them to know God, and how to serve Him, and be saved, and to escape the flames of Hell--you teach them nothing, or worse than nothing.
Parents! It is in your hands to do your children the greatest kindness--or cruelty, in all the world! Help them to know God and to be saved--and you do more for them than if you helped them to be kings or princes. If you neglect their souls, and breed them in ignorance, worldliness, ungodliness, and sin--then you betray them to the devil, the enemy of souls, even as truly as if you sold them to him. You sell them to be slaves of Satan! You betray them to him who will deceive them and abuse them in this life, and torment them in eternity!

About Charles Spurgeon
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (19 June 1834 — 31 January 1892) was an English Particular Baptist preacher. His nickname is the "Prince of Preachers."
Pristine Grace functions as a digital library of preaching and teaching from many different men and ministries. I maintain a broad collection for research, study, and listening, and the presence of any preacher or message here should not be taken as a blanket endorsement of every doctrinal position expressed.
I publish my own convictions openly and without hesitation throughout this site and in my own preaching and writing. This archive is not a denominational clearinghouse. My aim in maintaining it is to preserve historic and contemporary preaching, encourage careful study, and above all direct readers and listeners to the person and work of Christ.
