I was converted through the
instruction of my parents
and by the sitting under the
preaching of the word
Sunday after Sunday from the time I was born.
In his series, “Susanna Wesley: Spiritual Guide Par Excellence,” Bob Kellemen gives us a peek into Susanna’s personality. Using primary source material, he shows us how she handled her full household and the way she cared for the souls of others.
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
I cannot but look upon
every soul you leave under my care as
a talent committed to me,
under a trust,
by the great Lord
of all the families
of heaven and earth.
Train up a
child in the
way he
should go;
even when he is old
he will not depart from it.
