Lately, I’ve been pondering family worship.

I know this is crazy, but it has my mind caught in a vise-like grip. I feel caught without a game plan. I think conundrum might be the right word although maybe not…

Here is my dilemma. How do I do it/make it (family worship) work without everyone (primarily my order loving husband and the one who must lead us in this endeavor) crazy? How do I maintain a peaceful (ordered) home during this time? In short, how do I get my very active 20m old toddler to sit quietly for 20-30 minutes while Dad reads the Bible, etc.

I know the answer, but I wish there was an easier way.

More in Part 2.

So many parents think they don’t have enough Bible knowledge to teach their children.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  If you can read, you can teach your children God’s word.  All you have to do is stay a step ahead of them. Don’t be afraid.  God has given you everything you need to do this.  You don’t have to be a seminary-trained theologian to read the Bible and talk about what it means. Besides, God would not have given you the responsibility unless He knew you could handle it.  One of the oft-forgotten Reformation doctrines is the doctrine of the perspicuity (or understanding) of the Bible. God has given us the Bible in an understandable form.  We do not have to break codes or unravel riddles in order to understand the basic teaching of God’s word.”
