What it Takes to Get the Family Together

Song: Give Me The Bible

Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4-9

1. Sobriety. The devil is so subtle. He has made us so busy in our day that we don’t have time for family. He keeps us running so that we are worn to a frazzle because we’ve not knelt to pray, nor stopped for study and meditation. You have to take the Family Together seriously. It’s as important as home security. It is your home security. If you’ve not figured that out, you’ll discover it too late.

2. Determination. You have to make up your mind to do it. You have to decide that getting the family together for a period of worship and devotion is worth the effort. You have to be willing to turn off the evening news or to get the kids out of bed fifteen minutes earlier. If you don’t determine to make it happen, it won’t happen.

3. Persistence. When there’s an interruption in your routine what will you do? If you currently have no routine to your day, will you make one? If you don’t plan now how to handle interruptions to your Family Together time, interruptions will eliminate such time. You’ll find time to squeeze in fifteen minutes of television. You’ll make time for dinner. Be jealous of Family Together time, or it won’t happen.
