Not too long ago I had the pleasure of reading Dr. Beeke's "Family Worship". It was a great book that greatly convicted me. Our family has always had sporadic times of short bible lessons but nothing consistent and nothing as purposeful as worshipping together.
I have the unique pleasure of running a home-based business with my wife and having all of our children (6 of them) at home with us (as we home-school). Since reading this book our family has purposed to take 3-4 nights a week, for about 45 minutes each night, to worship God through singing (Psalms of course ), prayer, and reading through scripture with a small lesson (Luke right now). I have been greatly blessed by this time that we get to spend together.
Now, I understand that some, if not most, of you have more demanding schedules but I would still like to hear how you all spend time together throughout your week in times of family worship. And I would like to encourage you, if you are not, to purpose to spend time regularly with your family marveling on the glories of our great God! It has been one of the most encouraging things for me, as a father and a husband, to hear the hearts of my wife and my children in their prayers and to see the growth that is happening as they seek to apply God's Word to their lives.
So, what does family worship time look like in your house?
