How can churches undermine reformation in the family?

David Eddy explains in this video that reformation is needed in the church and in the family. If the families of a church are not daily reformed, then attending church one day a week for an hour and a half or less is not sufficient. 

Merely going to church will not make a difference. Children pick up on the priorities of their parents. What can make the process of family reformation more difficult is if the family is fragmented both at home and at church. Sadly, many churches today attempt to splinter and segment the family. They undermine one of the greatest assets – that of a strong family that learns, prays, and grows together.

Hebrews 10:24-25 (NKJV) – “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another,and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” 



I would say that Reformation is needed in the church. One of the major places where Reformation is needed in the church is in the family. If the families aren't daily reformed, then to come together one day a week for an hour and a half, one day a week, or less, if the priority isn't to be there every week, is just not going to make a difference. Kids pick up the priorities of their parents so easily. And for the parents, the priority is following the Lord, fellowshipping with the church.

That's something that will greatly benefit the church into something that, you look at the Puritans, they had that, that was something that was a big deal to them, and most churches today don't have that. In fact, most churches today, if anything, try to splinter and segment the family so that it doesn't matter that you're even part of this family. You're a tween or a teen or a 20-something or a new married or a baby boomer or a baby buster or a golden oldie or whatever their names are for all the groups. And it's just, we're going to assume the families are not families, and we're gonna treat everybody as pure individuals. And to me, that is incredibly detrimental and a major need for reform in the church.

They're undermining one of the greatest assets that the church could have by having strong families. You
