How Not to Look at Children

How not to look at children...

" Children are a hassle to be avoided. 

What has become conventional wisdom in the world

is now conventional wisdom in the church. 

We quip about longing for school to start, 

about dreading when they outgrow children’s church. 

We make the same stupid jokes- Do you know what causes that?, 

flaunting our folly.

We are so biblically illiterate in the church
 we have no idea we are calling God a liar, 

who tells us children are a blessing from His hand (Psalm 127). 

We are so historically illiterate 

we don’t know that every denomination in Christendom

condemned practices designed to avoid blessings

from the beginning of the church until little more than fifty years ago."

-RC Sproul JR.
