Conscientious family worship remained a practice among the faithful down through the ages. Each day began and ended with prayer. By this article, we encourage God's people to restore a kind of family worship that has slipped from the grasp of most. Briefly, it includes the Word of God read, explained, sung, and prayed, with the family present and participating. Just as in public worship, so in private worship, God's Word, and not man's. must rule.
Fathers are responsible to lead.
But the father is head of the home. He makes sure worship is conducted. He is careful to study ahead of time the passage to be read, so that he can teach the family. He supervises, but encourages the whole family to participate and be active with comments and questions. If fathers are absent, mothers take over.
