“The father says, in effect, by keeping him at arm’s length from any covenant blessings, that his profession of faith and trust is more worthy of soubt than credence, and this is the first (twisted) covenantal lesson the child learns. Christian parents are commanded to teach their children to believe, and instead, in the name of high conversion standards, we teach them to doubt. Then, when they grow up and mature in the doubting that we have taught them, we point to that doubt as clear evidence that we did the right thing in keeping them away in the first place” (A Primer on Worship and Reformation, p. 73).
