Obstacles to Family Worship: 2. Time Management
Obstacles to Family Worship
2. Time Management
To make time for daily family worship, parents must be strategic with allotting a window of time to accomplish the task. This might mean waking everyone up 15 minutes earlier, which also means getting everyone to bed 15 minutes earlier, as well.
It is best for parents to analyze the day in the life of their family and choose the most realistic time that they can do family worship, and then make it a daily habit.
If family worship is not treated as mandatory, it becomes optional. And, in a busy family, the optional becomes completely dismissed.
Analyze your schedule today and make family worship a priority for your family.
Obstacles to Family Worship: 1. Division of the Family Within Churches
Obstacles to Family Worship
1. Division of the Family Within Churches
In more recent centuries, churches have increasingly divided the family on Sundays. It is common for a family of 4 to be divided up into 4 different places on Sunday Mornings. For example, the preschooler can’t be with the 1st grader, the 1st grader can’t be with the 6th grader, and the wife can’t go to her husband’s class, she needs a separate “women’s only” Bible study.
Efforts should immediately be made to keep the family together for at least the main Worship Service on Sunday. Some churches are even trying to not divide at all on Sundays. Others are at least trying to unify Sunday school curriculum throughout the church. At least this way, if they are divided, they are still being taught the same Biblical subject matter.
