The cradle of spiritual upbringing of Children is the Family Altar. No matter how little or young their age is, their presence at this altar is important. They might not be able to Sing the Song, Read the Bible, understand the exhortation or Offer the Prayers, but the atmosphere of Worship at the altar has a lot of Silent Virtues to impart into their lives.
They also learn from what they see you do at this Altar, they gradually imitate what they are learning and it naturally becomes their way of life.
133 You fathers, you mothers, are you ready to establish an altar in your house, and take that television out? Are you ready to take that deck of cards off the table? Them comic books that your children's reading, preparing their little mind for a blast that the devil's going to give them. Are you ready to establish the old family altar again? Or do you just want to continue on the way you are? You want to continue on, you're not in condition of coming yet; but I pray that you're like Samson, you see the price and you're ready, "Lord, let me die with them."
134 He knowed, if God answered his prayer, what was going to cost. Many people, I've seen them right since I've been here, come up to the altar and the Holy Spirit come to them, and they don't want to die. They want to stay alive in the world. You can't serve two gods at the same time. Are you ready to forsake everything, to serve God? Listen at him cry, "Lord, only this once more!"
