"Would you like to maintain authority in your family? You couldn't do better than keeping the worship of God within it. If ever a head of a family has had a stupendous aspect, truly extraordinary, it is when he leads his household in the service of God and presides among his own in holy things. Then he shows himself worthy of double honor because he teaches them the good knowledge of the Lord, is their mouth before God in prayer and blesses them in his name."
—Matthew Henry
