Family Devotions
In years past, there was a popular saying, “The familythat prays together stays together.” A well-known statisticindicated that with half of most marriages ending in divorce,a couple who prayed and read their Bibles together in regular family devotions and faithfully attended church increased theodds of divorce by 1 out of 1,000. That probably still holdstrue today.Over the next few weeks, we will be presenting a revolutionary approachto spiritual growth, discipling, and family relationships. It is not new, but it isradical to most of us. Through the ministry of Word of Life, we will be sharingtheir quality Quiet Time materials designed for each member of the family. In the past family devotions and Quiet Times were limited primarily to adult materials.
However, we now have Quiet Times available for all ages beginning with “EarlyLearners” (ages 4-6) and at every stage of growth through adulthood. We will be
challenging our families, whether they have children at home or not, to securethese devotionals and begin a new journey of discipleship. Obviously, manygoals will be accomplished at the same time, including a true track to run on for godly parenting as well as personal fellowship with the Lord.
All of us know the need to talk to God and hear from Him in His Word but have often not had a good system. These materials will help you to fulllDeuteronomy 6:7 and Psalm 63:5-6. Whether it is in our homes, walking in
the way, lying down at night, or rising up in the morning, we will be able to
say: “My soul shall be satised and my mouth shall praise You with joyful
lips.” Whether you and your family use the materials separately or together,
there is great benet. The full-colored, high-quality publication for youth and
children will help you and them to be on the same page. Our entire church will be learning and growing together.We live in a very undisciplined age. Discipline is often derided as pharisaic legalism. We now have at least two generations who are largely and
biblically illiterate. As V. Raymond Edman wrote, “We need the rugged strength
of Christian character that can only come from discipline.” As I speak about thissubject and as we have instruction from the author of the materials, you will be
able to pray, “Let Your work appear to Your servants and Your majesty to their children” (Psalm 90:16).
