Discipling your kids is more than just family devotions (Derek Brown, 2.26.14)
The problem here lies not in the regular practice of family devotional time. Rather, it's found in relying on such formal instruction to fulfill our responsibility to train our children in the fear of the Lord. Is it wise to set aside time each day for family worship, prayer, and Bible reading? Absolutely. But we should apply the same diligence we expend to find the best devotional literature to seeking unexpected opportunities for teaching all day long. The call God places on me to disciple my son is far more comprehensive than what a few minutes of family worship can afford. Scripture portrays an all-inclusive approach to discipleship that resists compartmentalization.
Meeting with God (Pat Sczebel, 3.9.14)
We should be blown away that our great God is already waiting for us to gather. He will speak to us through his word, and remind us of his faithfulness in spite of our faithlessness, and encourage and strengthen our hearts, and continue to reveal more of his glory. This fresh glimpse of Jesus will fuel our passion to live in such a way that gladly reflects back to him the radiance of his worth.
