"Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

What is "family" worship, and why?
| |
|
We believe the pattern of scripture to teach that families ought to worship together. There is no case in scripture where the youth are found to be separated from the adults, and a number of scriptures such as Matthew 19:14, "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." which indicate that children are to be valued participants in worship.
The preaching of the gospel is the God ordained means of instructing His people both old and young. Because it is the Holy Spirit who directs the preaching, we are confident that He is able to apply His word to the hearts of all who hear it.
Children learn more from the example of their parents than from the spoken word. When children are able to witness their parents worshipping a sovereign God by choice and with heartfelt joy, they comprehend more than mere words can express. |
