Thanks for joining us for part 2 of this series entitlted, "The Family Altar." If you've listened to Keeping It Young for long, you've probably heard Dave refer to the "family altar" but what exactly does he mean when he says that?
7. How do you do it?
Schedule it John R. Rice had family altar after breakfast each morning. Read Scripture out loud as a family Each one prayed We had family altar in the evenings before bed. It was a calm down time It was a quiet time It was a special and fun time We have many scheduled habits We brush our teeth We watch certain shows We eat at certain times We leave for school at specific times Schedule in a way that fits your family Make the schedule a habit Communicate the schedule Change it as needed . . . Make it predictable Be clear about how you do it Be clear about what will happen Plan it No phones Light conversation Scripture reading Time of prayer Gratitude 8. Final thoughts:
You can’t do it if you aren’t what you should be as a parent
If you are growing and taking steps to be right, get started
