| "One...cause of the decay of religion in our day...is the neglect of the worship of God in families." The articles in this issue of the Free Grace Broadcaster are designed to instruct and motivate heads of households to diligently pursue their duties in teaching their families the Word of God. We are reminded of the history of family worship in the Bible and church history. God is the founder, owner, master, and benefactor of families; and therefore, families should pray to Him. We have many motives and reasons provided to lead us to this glorious work. Family worship includes reading God's Word and praying together. The responsibility of family worship rests on the father, though mothers also have a responsiblity if the man is absent. John G. Paton provides a touching illustration of family worship from his Scottish boyhood home and from his missionary endeavors in the South Sea Islands. Implementing family worship needs a clear plan or strategy. Joel Beeke gives us this in helpful directions for how to put this into practice. |
