Thoughts from Richard Boureston
Richard Boureston

We are all very familiar with the idea of corporate worship, the kind that happens on Sunday.  And we are even familiar with individual worship, a focused time of prayer and reading Scripture.  But, while the practice was common prior to mid-twentieth century.  It has fallen out of favor in the last few decades.

But should it be that way?  In other words, is it a preference that we can accept or deny and does Scripture have anything to say about this topic?

Malcolm Yarnel, and associate professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, gives us his analysis of family worship and it's Scriptural support.
