Exhortation for Parents

Precious, no doubt, are these little ones in your eyes; but if you love them, think often of their souls. No interest should weigh with you so much as their eternal interests. No part of them should be so dear to you as that part which will never die. 
This is the thought that should be uppermost on your mind in all you do for your children. In every step you take about them, in every plan, and scheme, and arrangement that concerns them, do not leave out the mighty question, "How will this affect their souls?"
-J.C. Ryle, "The Duties of Parents"

Preach the gospel to your children.
