Here the reformation must begin

Just started on “A Church in the House” I’m paying attention to how he addresses the men, the fathers. It feels very right to be reading an exhortation that’s 304 years old and that covers the very same endeavor we are about.

In the first chapter he notes it is within the family, with family worship that…”here the reformation must begin”

Here is a message from 1704 that most of the church wouldn’t know what to think of. But for many of us as I read I’m thinking we could be sitting in Mathew Henrys kitchen just having a great time or sitting in the pew at his church going Amen! Think about that.
