What They Said

“In the Old Testament, it is quite clear that the father was a kind of priest in his household and family: he represented God.  He was responsible not only for the morals and the behavior but for the instruction of his children.  The Bible’s emphasis everywhere is that this is the primary duty and task of the parents. And it remains so to this day.  If we are Christians at all, we must realize that this great emphasis is based upon those fundamental units ordained by God—marriage, family, and home. You cannot play fast and loose with them.”

Martyn Lloyd-Jones
