But if we love each other, sharing hopes and fears. And both want to create a family where we all trust God, then I don't think there's too much to worry about.
In the service, we promise to worship each other with our bodies. But, just as important is that we continue to worship God together.’
The website Five Benefits of Regular Family Worship :
- Regularly having planned times of reading the Bible, singing and praying together as a family helps establish a healthy spirituality in the home.
- Family worship is a great way for parents to evangelize and disciple their children.
- Children can learn to worship corporately with other believers by consistently worshiping the Lord in their homes
- Regular family worship provides parents natural opportunities to encourage their children to talk about their inner spiritual lives.
- Regular family worship provides an opportunity to testify to the truth and power of the gospel to guests in your home.
How much I wish I'd been brought up in a family where Jesus was more than a background concept!
The website gives more thoughts on each of these points.Well worth reading. My take-away point... Going to church with your kids is good but if it all stops at the end of the service then that's a big loser.
