Jonathan: Speaking for my own family, we generally do five days a week. As a pastor, The Lord’s Day is extremely busy for us all (morning to evening) and Wed. evening is our mid-week church Bible Study, so we generally do family worship Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat, with the other two days taken up in gathering with the larger body. But the general rule is that if we are home and not with the church, we have family worship at the table after supper. As Jason says, the keys are brevity, simplicity, and consistency.

Really. THIS is where even genuine believers really miss it so often. Our “busy” lives never seem to be too busy for the game or other stuff we think is REALLY important. People who don’t embrace family worship as times of refreshing rather than a burden have missed the point of the gospel in my opinion. Of course nobody is flawlessly heroic in ANY area of godly practice and some days will be better than others as was said, but the man who must be drug into the things of God with his covenant family needs to seek the Holy Spirit to reevaluate his priorities. I was a spectacular failure in this area for most of my life and am looking down my nose at no one.
