AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE

Genesis 18:17-19



The manner in which family worship is conducted is very important. It should be made so pleasant as to look forward to with gladness even by the younger children. A few minutes given everyday could do and make it more pleasant and attractive experience of the day.

As a rule, children will reflect the life and principles manifested in their parents. The reason so many children are irrelevant, irreligious and disobedient is that their parents are so. Like parents like child. If parents will see a different stage of things, they must themselves change. They must invite God into their home and make His word their counselor and guide God’s word must be taken as the voice of God addressed to them; and it is to be implicitly obeyed.

In many house-holds today, prayer is neglected. If ever there was a time when every house should be a house of prayer it is now. Fathers and mothers should often lift up their hearts to God in humble supplication for themselves and their children. “Let the father, as the priest of the household lay upon the God the morning and evening sacrifice. While the wife and children unite in prayer and praise. In such a house-hold Jesus will love to tarry”.
