Anyone taken thought of how they will meet their family's needs for spiritual guidance/teaching/devotional needs should you become isolated? Just thinking about it - lots of us have Bibles gathering dust. I have started taking a direct step by step read thru and study of the scriptures and we hold church here at home a lot since we don't have a home church to attend right now. Fellowshipping with like minded believers is important but if you are quarantined, lost as a group - shipwrecked, plane crash, etc. and unable to attend your church, have you studied enough or spent time learning to promote your family's spiritual well-being? Hopefully, lots of folks on this forum are prepared for many different scenarios. I am not trying to start a religious discussion here. Tj, you can move this if you feel its better in the Religious forum. I am interested in what others are doing or planning to do to look after their own in times of distress. |
I never used to think I wanted to be a Deacon or Elder. But as I get older, I see that it would be a noble calling. As for the original post. I have a 6 year old boy and a 4 year old girl. We pray for dinner and other times as they come up. And I've been faithful to every day, or nearly every day read a lesson to them out of a children's daily lesson bible to them. And sometimes my wife will follow up with a Gigi book lesson. And then we pray. As they get older, obviously I'll have to get more in depth with them. But that little bit of time is a blessing. My wife still remembers when they did it as children as well. |
