How does a family participate in reformation?

Anthony Mathenia explains in this video that family reformation occurs when a family looks to Scripture and does away with the things in their life that do not line up with Scripture and begins to do the things that are commanded in Scripture. It is a doing away of sin and a following of the things that are clearly prescribed.

The father must take a leadership role in this process and guide his family to Scripture to align their family life in accordance with the Word of God. Each family will face its own unique struggles and challenges, but one thing remains the same for each family – that the Word of God is applicable, true, and needed for the reformation of the family.

2 Timothy 3:15 (NKJV) – “[F]rom childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” 



Reformation in a family looks like a husband and a wife and if kids are in the picture, the children as well, constantly looking into the Scriptures and doing away with those things in their lives that don't match God's Word. And adding those things to our lives that are lacking, that are commanded and prescribed in God's Word. So Reformation is a continual looking at God and His Word, doing away with sin and those things that are not in keeping with what He has said, as well as adding those things that He has clearly prescribed that ought to be a part of our lives.
