WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?

Gathering your family together daily to read God's Word, Pray and worship God.

Why Is it important? Because.

1. It brings the presence of God into your home (Exodus 20:24).

2. It strengthens your marriage and family ties (Joshua 1:8 and Isaiah 59:21).

3. It is the greatest way to make sure your children are daily filled with God's Word (Colossians 3:6). It is only the truth of God's Word that fortifies them and saves them from the deceptions of our humanistic society.

4. It gives opportunity to discuss the Scriptures and divine truth together. It is an opportunity for the children to ask questions and for we as parents to ask our children questions.

5. It is the best way to make sure we pray together as a family- for one another, for our nation, for Israel, for the nations of the world, and for all those in need (2 Chronicles 7:14; 1 Timothy 2:1-3; and Hebrews 3:3).

6. It is imperative for beginning each new day by honoring and worshipping God as a family and to sit and listen to Him speak to us. We should gather as a family morning and evening (Psalm (92:1-2). It shows our children that God is the preeminent One in our home.

7. It is essential for the blessing of the nation! When families no longer take time to pray and read God's Word together, the family weakens. And when the family weakens, the nation weakens (Psalm 1:1-3 and Jeremiah 10:25).
