1. Encourage spiritual headship among fathers. Many fathers are providers and decision makers but not spiritual leaders in their households. The Family Together equips fathers for daily conversations with their children “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
2. Promote together time within families. Household habits like television, little league, overtime, tee time, and many more leisure time activities pull families apart. The Family Together builds the daily habit of uninterrupted family time to draw the family closer together.
3. Restore living room religion. Congregational bible classes supplement but cannot—and should not—supplant the biblical and moral instruction provided by parents, especially fathers, in the home. The Family Together encourages a return to the old path of teaching the Bible “diligently unto thy children… when thou sittest in thine house.”
4. Inspire hearth and home worship to God. According to Jesus, the habit of “closet” prayer and worship “in secret” cures hypocrisy and vain religion. The Family Together encourages private, daily devotion in the home which prepares true worshipers for public, weekly worship in the assembly.
5. Kindle homespun Bible instruction. The Family Together is not a children’s book, but a family workbook. It’s home work for the family together. It serves as a practical companion, but not a substitute, for the spontaneous, interactive guidance of the parent. It creates a natural context for such guidance.
Get your family together today and every day. It just makes sense.
