The purpose of this little booklet (blog) is stated in the title, The Family Together. It’s intended to get the family unit together for a period of worship because in the mind of the authors, such is the need of the hour.
The home needs once again to be a center of biblical instruction. Israel’s fathers were charged to diligently teach the commandments of the Law to their sons and daughters in the home and at the market, in their work and at their leisure (Deut. 6:6-8). Israel’s fathers are still charged to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Eph. 6:4).
The burden of biblical instruction for our families cannot be left to the church. The bible class is an expedient, a supplement—it was not God’s plan for grounding children in the faith. Just as surely as the evangelist is charged to preach and the elder to shepherd, the father is commanded to superintend the spiritual instruction of his household. To do otherwise is to leave the Lord’s church and the bible class with a responsibility that it cannot fulfill and to set ourselves up for continual disappointments and inadequate results.
You can read this book (blog) by yourself if you wish, but when you do, you miss the benefit of the family together. It’s the need of the hour. It’s the answer to the ills of the home and the influences of culture. Get the family together. You’ll be glad you did!
