Maximizing Motherhood by Grasping Doctrine

The mother's place being of such influence, she is responsible to see that her influence is always at its best for God. Dr. R. A. Torrey in a sermon once said: 'There is no nober occupation upon earth, no higher calling than that of being a mother, a true mother. This Book [the Bible] which I hold in my hand confers great honor upon motherhood. The ideal woman of the Bible is not a woman who goes around making speeches, is not a woman who belogs to clubs, is not a woman that occupies a public position. The ideal woman of the Bible is the mother. That is the highest position a woman can occupy...The most blessed of all women, the virgin Mary, was a mother. Nobody can be accomplished by a bad mother.' (The Christian Home by Norman V. Williams, p.68)
