544 HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME V-4 N-12 - We see this
age that we're living in. It's one of the
grandest ages of all ages. This Laodicea Church
Age is the grandest of all the church ages,
because it's the ending of time and the blending
of eternity. And then, it's the greatest sinful
age. There's more sin in this age than there's
ever been. And the powers of Satan is many times
harder to fight against than it was in any age.

Your family's what you are. You raise your child
in a certain environment it's got a ninety-eight
per cent better chance to go right than it has to
if you bring it up in the wrong way. "Bring up a
child in the way that it should go, and when it's
old it'll not depart from it." Be brought up
right, teach your children to do right to be
honest, to be square and fair even when they're
in school.
811 COUNTDOWN -- V-22 N-9 -- 1964 And if you'd
watch nature real close, you won't get too far

preached on the four ways of seeing God God in
his Son, God in his Word, God in nature and so
forth.

20E-45 CALLING.JESUS.ON.THE.SCENE- 1964 John might
have said something like this, he said, "You
know, when I was a little boy, we lived down by
Jericho. I remember my Jewish mother used to rock
me to sleep in the afternoon, take my afternoon
nap. I used to look up in her eyes and she'd tell
me Bible stories." And you know, that's a good
thing for any mother to do to her child. Bring up
a child in the way it should go. It would be
better than to turn on a television to watch some
of these here things that goes on on the
television, It'd be better off if you read him a
Bible story, 'cause it's impressing his little
mind.

22E-29 GOD.KEEPS.HIS.WORD -- 1957 I'd rather have
an old home with no rug on the floor, and with a
little old iron bedstead setting there, and an
old dresser somewhere, or whatever, and a little
old kitchen table made out of boxes with a sign
hanging on it, "God bless our home" than all the
fine homes in the world, your pinups and nonsense
that you have today, and a Bible laying on the
table instead of all these old love story
magazines and things laying around of dirt, and
filth, and lust, and everything else to breed
into the children. How can you expect anything
else but a bunch of infidels and agnostics to
answer out. That's true, friends.
23Bring up a child in the way that it should go,
teaching him on the Word of God. Abraham
Lincoln, until he was a grown man, had two books
One of them was the Bible and the other was the
Foxe "Book of the Martyrs." And he studied that
so hard, he read he concentrated on that. That's
what developed that kind of a character that
Abraham Lincoln was.
24Ps 10614 But lusted exceedingly in the
wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. 15 And
he gave them their request but sent leanness
into their soul.
25E-16 ELISHA.THE.PROPHET -- JEFF.IN -- 1956 Now,
if the picture of a ship will impress boys to
become Navy man, sailors of the sea, what ought
the picture of the Lord Jesus Christ do? See?
Always have the right thing before your children.
"Bring up a child in the way that it should go."
See. Bring it up and teach it right. It'll,
certainly, won't depart from it.

notice some people setting right here now that's
got a little grandson, and his name is... the one
little boy's a sweetest, pleasant little fellow
and the other one is Ricky, and that's what he
is. You just watch him, his nature's just like
that. I said to some of his grandparents, or
someone, I said, "Tell the mother change the name
of that boy, just change that name over and watch
what happens to the kid." See, you people don't
want to believe that. We think we've lived too
long for that. If there isn't something in a
name, then why as long as Jacob was called Jacob,
which means "supplanter, deceiver," that's what
he was?
