Table Training


As we raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, a most important place, maybe the most important place, is the Table. It is at your dining room table and at this Table of the Lord.
         Why? Because it is there where the family gathers in peace and fellowship. And this Table is the place where God’s people gather in peace and fellowship.
         Is your home table training your children? How so? With peace, harmony, joy, restoration, sustenance, vigor, rest?
         Excellent. That is what this place is for, too. At this Table is home, food, family, joy, rest, reconciliation, assurance, health. This discipline of taking and eating in the name and Spirit of Jesus Christ, is a premiere foundation for every other form of learning.

         Here, by faith, receive Christ’s body. Here, by faith, receive Christ’s blood. Have intimate fellowship with Him and because of Him, reconciled and restored fellowship with all those who belong to Him. Rejoice in this Table training.
