Is your family a nursery for Heaven or Hell? - Matthew Henry

[Grant]

Matthew Henry is his commentary on Philemon (v.1-7) states the below, which I hope serves as an encouragement to you to either begin family worship or continue to persevere in it, though you may find it trying with young ones at times.......Hold Fast Parents!!

2.) This one evil servant did not hinder Philemon’s house from being called and counted a church, for the religious worship and order that were kept up in it; and such should all families be—nurseries of religion, societies where God is called on, his word is read, his sabbaths are observed, and the members are instructed in the knowledge of him and of their duty to him, neglect of which is followed with ignorance and all corruption. Wicked families are nurseries for hell, as good ones are for heaven.
