For Christian Fathers...

It is never too soon to strive and pray for the salvation of the souls of children — never too soon to speak to them as moral beings, and tell them of God, and Christ, and right, and wrong. ~ J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on Mark
Let us teach our children to value the Bible. The very best portion we can give them, is a knowledge of the Scriptures. ~ J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on Mark
Religious light is not given to a man for himself alone, but for the benefit of others. We are to try and spread and diffuse our knowledge. We are to display to others the precious treasure that we have found; and persuade them to seek it for themselves. We are to tell them of the good news that we have heard, and endeavor to make them believe and value it themselves. ~ J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on Mark

Home is the place above all others where the child of God ought to make his first endeavors to do good. Home is the place where he is most continually seen, and where the reality of his grace ought most truly to appear. Home is the place where his best affections ought to be concentrated. Home is the place where he should strive daily to witness for Christ. ~ J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on Mark
Children must be impressed with the awesomeness of Christ, with His nature and character. They must see in their leaders a sense of awe for the beauty and attractiveness of Christ. They must see what it means to treasure Christ more than anything else. ~ Matt Chandler, Creature of the Word, 145
The gospel is impressed on children by what they see in parents and leaders; thus, those who lovingly live a godly life in front of children are heroes. Matt Chandler, Creature of the Word, 145
