Listen Later

Thanks for joining us for part 2 of this series entitlted, "The Family Altar." If you've listened to Keeping It Young for long, you've probably heard Dave refer to the "family altar" but what exactly does he mean when he says that? 

 

7.  How do you do it?

    1. Schedule it
      1. John R. Rice had family altar after breakfast each morning.
        1. Read Scripture out loud as a family
        2. Each one prayed
      2. We had family altar in the evenings before bed.
        1. It was a calm down time
        2. It was a quiet time
        3. It was a special and fun time
    2. We have many scheduled habits
        1. We brush our teeth
        2. We watch certain shows
        3. We eat at certain times
        4. We leave for school at specific times
      1. Schedule in a way that fits your family
      2. Make the schedule a habit
      3. Communicate the schedule
      4. Change it as needed . . .
    3. Make it predictable
      1. Be clear about how you do it
      2. Be clear about what will happen
    4. Plan it
      1. No phones
      2. Light conversation
      3. Scripture reading
      4. Time of prayer
      5. Gratitude

8.  Final thoughts:

You can’t do it if you aren’t what you should be as a parent

If you are growing and taking steps to be right, get started
