The Importance of Family Devotions
" Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Eph. 6:4)
"You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise." (Deut. 11:19)
Ever since the birth of our daughter, my wife and I have been more intentional with doing family devotionals. We both understand that we must lay a biblical foundation under our daughter so that she may grow up with a biblical worldview. The world is full of influences, the majority being contrary to God and His way. If we don't teach our children, someone else will. What influence do you want in your family? Do you want the world or God's word to shape your children?
I have started to write family devotionals for my church and my family. Each devotional consists of questions, song suggestions, prayer ideas, and a few thoughts based on the scripture reading. They typically take about 10-15 minutes. Come back each week to find the latest devotions.
