God lays on the man, as the head of the family, the chief responsibility for the performance of these requirements. In a true sense God has constituted man prophet, priest and king in the home, and will not sanction the delegation of this responsibility to the wife, the Sabbath school, or to any other agency. From the foregoing it is evident that the time has come for the Church through its officers and courts to engage its largest energies in the most important and vital work of establishing the family altar in every Christian home and encouraging faithful, systematic home-training in the Scriptures and Standards of the Church. For this we most earnestly plead. The family altar is the determining factor in the security, perpetuity and efficiency of family life.
Family worship is a test of the faith of parents and the reality of religion.
Our beloved Church has always stood for family religion as the sine qua non of the Christian home, and of scriptural Church life. Contact the Covenant Family Fellowship and request a list of free publications and a sample of our newsletter, Covenant Family .
