A Prayerless Home
Colossians 4:15
Salute the brothers which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.…


I shall never forget the impression made upon me during the first year of my ministry by a mechanic whom I had visited, and on whom I urged the paramount duty of family prayer.. One day he entered my study, and bursting into tears, said, "You remember that girl, sir; she was my only child. She died suddenly this morning. She has gone, I hope, to God. But if so, she can tell Him what now breaks my heart — that she never heard a prayer in her father's house or from her father's lips! Oh that she were with me but one day again!"

(Norman Macleod.)
