Family Worship

In light of Nate's sermon a few weeks back on family worship, and because we all seem more open to new things around the start of a new school year (which began in Memphis today), it is a great time to begin (or, begin again) with family worship (even if you're single!).

Here's some good counsel from Lig Duncan.

Family Worship

* * * *

I do therefore desire, that all masters of families would first study well this work themselves, and then teach it their children and servants, according to their several capacities. And, if they once understand these grounds of religion, they will be able to read other books more understandingly, and hear sermons more profitably, and confer more judiciously, and hold fast the doctrine of Christ more firmly, than ever you are like to do by any other course. First, let them read and learn the Shorter Catechism, and next the Larger, and lastly, read the Confession of Faith.
