The Christian home is a center of worship: Bible-centred worship of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; they show reverence to God in all aspects of their lives, they obey Jesus as Lord, and the Bible is their Magna Carta. They have set time for individual and family devotion and worship. And they join other believers in fellowship and worship in a Bible-believing church that “preaches Christ crucified”.
