Family Services For God

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 11, 2024

Joshua said, “But for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15 NLT) I want to use this opportunity to inspire parents to view God's service as a shared family endeavor.

When a parent is actively involved in God's service, questions may arise about why their children should also be deeply involved. For instance, if one parent is a choir leader, gatekeeper, or priest, and one or two of ...read more
