44 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. See?

38 THE.INFLUENCE.OF.ANOTHER V-4 N-11 1962 Oh! 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.
11 COUNTDOWN -- V-22 N-9 -- 1964
And if you'd watch nature real close, you won't
get too far from the Word. Because God is in
nature. I think the last time I was down here on
the West Coast I preached on the four ways of
seeing God; God in his Son, God in his Word,
God in nature and so forth.

mothers like that. "Bring up a child in the way

You fathers, you mothers, are you ready to
establish an altar in your house, and take that
television out? Are you ready to take that deck
of cards off the table? Them comic books that
your children's reading, preparing their little
mind for a blast that the Devil's going to give
them. Are you ready to establish the old family
altar again? Or do you just want to continue on
the way you are?

E-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.

E-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.
Bring 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.
Ps 106:14 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.
E-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.

46 GOD'S.GIFTS.ALWYS.FIND - V-6 N-13-1963
I 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?
