			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the drive to the church this morning (while <a href="http://www.reformationtheology.com/2009/02/online_sermons.php">listening</a> to an <a href="http://www.marshillchurch.org/media/trial/temptation-from-sin">online sermon</a>) I was thinking about public vs private devotion and study in the family. By nature I am a very private person and my personal devotional activities are always done as privately as I can get them. This fits well with my strong introvert nature. But what example does this set for my family?</p>
<p>We do family devotions. Every morning after we wake up and every night before bed we round everyone up and read the Bible and pray together. That&#8217;s what we do as a family. But what example is set for how we should behave as individuals?</p>
<p>I am now feeling challenged to be with my kids where they can see me doing more Bible reading and prayer and even study and preparation for Sunday morning. It might cause my concentration to break more than a few times but it means my kids seeing one more example of what we do to grow in the Lord. This sort of practice might go against my nature, but God has changed my nature once, he can do it again.</p>
