You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, & training them up in God’s fear, & minding the house, & making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts.

There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing.
