Public Worship

 

 

Attend Public Worship With Children.

--Fathers and mothers should make it a rule that their children attend public worship on the Sabbath, and should enforce the rule by their own example. It is our duty to command our children and our household after us, as did Abraham. By example as well as precept we should impress upon them the importance of religious teaching. All who have taken the baptismal vow have solemnly consecrated themselves to the service of God; they are       under covenant obligation to place themselves and their children where they may obtain all possible incentives and encouragement in the Christian life.    

     But while we worship God, we are not to consider this a drudgery. The Sabbath of the Lord is to be made a blessing to us and to our children. They are to look upon the Sabbath as a day of delight, a day which God has sanctified; and they will so consider it if they are properly instructed.   CG 530-531  

Some churches are in the home when there are no churches close enough who worship God in Spirit and in truth, as the disciples did after Jesus went to heaven.
