Quotes by Jerry Marcellino

There are a variety of ways God’s Word can be conveyed to your family: 1. By direct reading from the Bible according to a plan. 2. By reading from a sound Bible story book. 3. Through the use of a catechism, a very successful method of teaching biblical truths by simple questions and answers. 4. Through Scripture memory and review. 5. By reading from a good devotional commentary. 6. By reading through solid Christian classics like The Pilgrim’s Progress (Make sure your Bibles are in front of you, to explore the scriptural truths that will jump from every page!). 7. By reading from Christian biographies, historical fiction, theological novels.

God has so designed that children, in their formative years, naturally look to their [parents] in order to emulate them… "Mold me – impart to me what’s most precious to your hearts." But so often a child sees behind all of the religious garb of his parents and finds what is really precious to them! He sees patterns of heart which lure them toward a pursuit of wealth, leisure, athletics, entertainment, television, shopping or religious busyness. A child can easily see when these things are more exciting to his parents than devotion to Jesus Christ! When this proves to be the case, a child will embrace those same affections – to the detriment of his own soul!
