God has no grandchildren

clipped from www.rzim.org
In an age in which infidelity abounds, do we observe them [parents] carefully instructing their children in the principles of faith which they profess? Or do they furnish their children with arguments for the defense of that faith? ... When religion is handed down among us by heredity succession, it is not surprising to find youth of sense and spirit beginning to question the truth of the system in which they were brought up. And it is not surprising to see them abandon a position which they are unable to defend. 10
10 Quoted by J.P. Moreland in Love Your God With All Your Mind, 134-135.
William Wilberforce in his book Real Christianity.
