[b]What her tender infant may grow up to be[/b](J. C. Ryle)"Every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood." Genesis 8:21"Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me." Psalm 51:5Remember that children are born with a decided bias toward evil, and therefore if you let them choose for themselves, they are certain to choose wrong.The mother cannot tell what her tender infant may grow up to betall or short, weak or strong, wise or foolishall is uncertain. But one thing the mother can say with certaintyhe will have a corrupt and sinful heart! It is natural for us to do wrong. Our hearts arelike the earth on which we treadlet it alone, and it is sure to bear weeds.
