# William Nevins: Be Cultural Dissenters in the Practice of Family Worship

“Have the courage, then, to dissent from the practice of the multitude. Look at Abraham, and Joshua, and Job, and David, and Daniel, who are now inheriting the promises. These were singularly pious. They served God *with their households*, in the midst of idolatry, corruption and prevailing error. Go ye, and do likewise.” — [William Nevins](/authors/william-nevins), *On Family Worship* (1821)
