From the Heart of Brother Jesse – Thursday, April 3, 2025 – Restoring the Family Altar

Dear Faithful Servants of Christ,

There was a time when the phrase “the family altar” was widely understood. It spoke of a daily gathering in the home—a time of prayer, Scripture reading, and the lifting of hearts unto the Lord. In many households today, this sacred practice has grown faint, overtaken by busy schedules, digital distractions, and the fading of spiritual priority within the home.

Yet now is the time to restore the family altar.

In Joshua 24:15, the declaration still echoes through the generations: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” This is not merely a sentiment—it is a spiritual stand. It is a call to make Christ the center of our home life, not just our church life.

Restoring the family altar does not require elaborate rituals or theological expertise. It simply begins with intention. Set aside a time each day—be it morning or evening—to gather as a family, read a portion of God’s Word, and pray together. Ask one another about your walk with the Lord. Speak blessings over one another. Invite God into your conversations, your meals, your routines.

The presence of God will fill the home where He is regularly welcomed and sincerely honored. Make your dwelling a place where peace resides, grace abounds, and Christ reigns.

In devotion and love,
Brother Jesse
