“No other institution, whether through the efforts of particular individuals or societies, established through the church or through the state, can replace or compensate for the family.” -- Herman Bavinck
"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate." -- Psalm 127:3-5
