FRONT-PORCH GOSPEL: Restoring the family altar

Good week to all. Welcome to the “front porch.” Some months ago, a young “almost-thirty” mother from church here in Red Oak sent me a request to teach on the “family altar.” I was honored to receive her request on such an important topic. We began thinking along those lines immediately.

OUT TO PASTOR: All in due time, so she says

For several weeks, or has it been years, I’ve been waiting for an important package to come through the mail. With all our technology today, you would think that mail could come in on a particular schedule, and I'm thinking of a fast-paced schedule.
