Our family has greatly benefitted from the family reformation taking place within the church today. The emphasis on viewing the family unit through a literal, biblical lense, and the importance of modelling our family lives based upon the instructions found in scripture are at the heart of the family reformation movement.

Today I learned of a new conference based upon the principles of family reformation - A Puritan Family Reformation being held May 9 - 10th in Wake Forest, North Carolina. You can find all of the details, including a video at the conference website.

Here is what the conference host, Scott Brown, has to say about the purpose of the conference:

On May 9-10 we are having a really unusual conference for the reformation of family life. It is called, “A Puritan Family Reformation,” which seeks to document the biblical doctrine of the family as the Puritans understood it and to put it into practice in our times. It will be a very practical conference for the reforming of marriage, child raising and the relationship between the family and the church.

This is just the sort of instruction that the church today can benefit from - clear, practical biblical teaching to restore the family to the model clearly presented in scripture. If God has placed a burden on your heart for the retun of the family to His clear plan, this is a conference you should seriously consider.

If you would like to promote this contest on your blog, there is a contest taking place at Life in a Shoe, but the contest closes today. Here are the details:

In order to help get the word out about the conference I will be having a drawing for 3 copies of “A Church in the House” by Matthew Henry and “The Joy of Family Worship” cd by R.C. Sproul Jr. IF you blog about the conference.

Together - one of each to 3 people - The conference starts the 9th so we’ll close entries on this drawing on the 30th of April!
