There are 4 things I always talk about as I am applying the Scriptures to everyday life and practice. They are,
1. Cultivate a deep walk with Christ
2. Gather your family for Family Worship frequently
3. Make worship as a community a priority on the Lord’s Day
4. Serve Christ, show the love of Christ in acts of righteousness.
Here is a link on how to have what they call “A Family Meeting“. Good stuff, short article, worth the read. I hope it helps to shape your thinking and your practice of worshiping as a family.
I do a lot of my own thinking in these matters and have spent the greater part of the last 17 years trying to flesh them out so to speak. In thinking about these matters, I tend to read what other people have to say about them. In all honesty, usually, my reading consists of a bunch of dead guys, especially when it comes to “Family Worship”. It is not often that I get to read something from somebody still walking around on this particular subject. I have been doing some reading lately on the website that the link above is from called Paths of Return. This is not an endorsement of everything they say, so don’t take it that way, but their work in what they call the Re-Family area has been good reading.
Soli Deo Gloria
