My family and I have had morning devotions, or family altar as some people call it, everyday ever since my wife, Meriqua, and I were married 30 years ago. We have prayed and read the Bible together as well as other devotional books as a family and it is the only reason why this family has stayed together and it is the only reason why God has blessed our family and used our family in ministry all of these years. We read Ephesians 5 and 6 every morning as it relates to the role of each member of the family and how that we need to put on the whole armor of God to fight against the devil who is seeking to destroy our family and all Christian families, churches, and Christians. Sometimes our devotions would last 3 or 4 hours. So if you see 45 minutes to an hour, don't be shocked. That is an abridgement. So, now after 30 years of doing this in our home, we are opening this up to others who don’t have a family to pray with, who don’t have a spouse, who are single by choice, and to encourage all families who are still in tact to go back to the family altar and have devotions together every morning. In these devotions, you may hear me deal with a temptation I’m facing in my life, you may hear me rebuke my wife about not doing what she should be doing, or you may hear me get on one of my children’s cases about something they’re doing. Don’t be shocked; this is real life.

According to The Puritan Directory of Family Worship, “The ordinary duties comprehended under the exercise of piety which should be in families are these: First, prayer and praises performed with a special reference to the public condition of the church of God and His kingdom as it affects the present case of the family and every member thereof. Next, reading of the scriptures, with teaching in a plain way, that the understandings of the simpler may be the better enabled to profit under the public ordinances, and made more capable to understand the scriptures when they are read; together with godly conferences tending to the edification of all the members in the most holy faith: and also, admonition and rebuke, upon just reasons, from those who have authority in the family.”
