Children Quote by Tad Thompson
““I can almost predict that your children will mirror your love for Christ, but they will take it to the next level. If you demonstrate passion and genuine commitment for Jesus, they will most likely follow after him harder and faster than you have. On the other hand, if they sense an empty, religious, Sunday-only commitment to Christ, they will chase after the things of this world with great zeal.””
