The Importance of Family in Worship

The spirit of adoption assures us inwardly of all the family blessings that are ours and helps us to grow more like our elder brother. If this is what worship is, don't you think it would transform both our worship and our church life to realize that we are family? I think this is a very important thing today. We're living in a culture full of dysfunctional families and a world full of young people who has no idea where they belong. But when our churches become expressions of this wonderful reality, we are family.
