Teaching Your Children Spiritual Truth - Phil Johnson
Teaching our children spiritual truth is a never-ending, non-stop duty. But it is also a tremendous privilege and great joy. You are your child's principle spiritual guide.

Catechetical Instruction - Archibald Alexander
The pious patriarch would spend much time in dealing out to his listening children the lessons which he had learned in his youth from his predecessors, and those which he had been taught by his own experience. These instructions were properly of the nature of catechizing, which may be defined to be the familiar communication of knowledge orally. - More

Family Worship: An Extract from a Letter - Philip Doddridge
While I write this, I have that awakening scripture before me: "Pour out my fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name." Jer. 10:25. I appeal to you, whether this does not strongly imply, that every family, which is not a heathen family, which is not quite ignorant of the living and true God, will call upon his name. - More

An Old-Fashioned Home - J. Wilbur Chapman

He that is the master of a family, he has, as under that relation, a work to do for God; the right governing of his own family. And his work is twofold. First, Touching the spiritual state of it. Second, Touching the outward state of it. - More

Duties of Husbands and Wives - Richard Steele
Marriage is the foundation of all society, and so this topic is very important. Explaining marital duties to you is much easier than persuading you to do them. Conform your will to Scripture, not vice versa. Take Ephesians 5:33 to heart. - More

Family Worship - Author W. Pink
There are some very important outward ordinances and means of grace which are plainly implied in the Word of God, but for the exercise of which we have few, if any, plain and positive precept; rather are we left to gather them from the example of holy men and from various incidental circumstances. - More

The Duties of Christian Parents - J. C. Ryle
We live in days when there is a mighty zeal for education in every quarter. We hear of new schools rising on all sides. We are told of new systems, and new books for the young, of every sort and description. And still for all this, the vast majority of children are manifestly not trained in the way they should go, for when they grow up to man's estate, they do not walk with God. - More

Biblical Principles for Solving Problems in the Home - Brian Schwertley
We live in a time of great marital discord and family disintegration. At the beginning of the twentieth century the divorce rate in America was under ten percent. By 1983 the divorce rate was just under fifty percent (the divorce rate has stood near fifty percent ever since the early 1980s). One would expect that with the great rise in the standard of living in the United States, families would be in a better state in the 1990s then they were in the 1890s. - More
