The Family at Church

Joel Beeke has written a wonderful book "The Family at Church" to help families in their participation in the meetings of the church. He says, "Teach your children that every sermon counts for eternity. Salvation comes through faith, and faith comes through hearing God's Word (Rom. 10:13-16). So every sermon is a matter of life and death." Each chapter either deals with listening to the preached word, or coming to prayer meetings. He says, "The church must maintain the divinely ordered role of the family to establish a godly heritage.'
