Hearth And Altar A Book For Family Worship

Excerpt from Hearth and Altar: A Book for Family Worship The chapters in this little book are arranged so that the whole family could participate. The Scrip ture passage at the opening is to be recited in concert. Next comes the portion for the evening followed by the prayer, both to be read by the father, after which all unite in the Lord's Prayer. Provision is also made for special days of the year. Let it be emphasized that the father is the priest of the family and the legitimate leader of family devotions. This volume was prepared for my own family, and it has worked so well that I am sharing it with others, with the prayer that every home in the land may enjoy in fullest measure the goodness, the grace, and the guidance of the Father, from whom every family is named.

Creating a Family Altar is about a call back to the ancient ways, the ancient vision that God established for families. God's heart has always been to create a perpetual generation of worshippers that would daily abide in His presence. However, today, more often than not, our children go one way at church and we go the other. This same pattern repeats itself within in our homes. Satan has used every distraction possible to rob us of presence-filled family worship. The altar of our home, where God's vision for our families is to be cultivated and manifested, has been stripped away and replaced with busyness, rebellion, compromise, and selfish lust of the flesh. It is time to pick up the greatest call we will every have in life and lay hold of the compass that points us to the family altar once again. It is the purpose of this book to give parents a step-by-step outline and blueprint, using the Tabernacle model, on how to create a family altar. But not just a family altar, but a habitation place of the Lord's presence right within your home. In this book, I will take you on a journey of Biblical blueprint for family worship and give you a step-by-step instructional manual of family worship using the Tabernacle of Moses. But this isn't just another book with good information, I also provide you with very practical, creative, and spirit-filled ways that you can begin and continue in the vision and calling of the family altar to get you started . It is time to fill our homes with the presence of Jesus once again and allow worship to be the lifestyle we live, not just a place we go.
