title Tong Bible Family Worship
abstract The purpose of this paper is about the way children grow up in faith through the combination of Tong Bible and Family Worship. There are several studies on the importance and benefits of family worship. Many churches recognize that the education of faith in the church once or twice a week is not enough, but that it is an important role of the church to build a family with faith through parents who face children in their daily lives.

That is why parent education and seminars are being held in the church to nurture children's faith. There are also many studies on how to offer Family Worship. The key to Family Worship is to point God's Word to children at home.

However, there is few research on how parents should teach their children and how they can continue to practice Family Worship in home. In this paper, we examine what Family Worship is, what history it has, and what it looks like in the Old and New Testaments. Through this, we will look at the necessity of Family Worship and as well as how great the biblical grounds and benefits. Next, we will look at Tong Bible. When you read the Bible with Tong Bible, you can connect individuals, homes, and nations, and You can see time, space, and humans as a whole Bible. Let's take a look at the advantages of reading Tong Bible. Every Christian knows the importance of reading the Word, but reading the Word every day is not easy. So Byeong-ho Cho divided the Bible into 7 tracks, 20 yards, and 40 lessons for one reading, making it readable 365 days a year. With this, you will be able to read the Bible once a year if you are faithful to your Family Worship for one year.

This paper presents how parents can teach their children the God’s Word through Family Worship by combining Tong Bible and Family Worship. It also shows that as a way to continue Family Worship, questions about the Bible's yearly reading and the Word can be a motivation to continue Family Worship as well as the Holy Bible.

This paper will be of great help to families who want to offer a family service but do not know what to do. Also, through the Family Worship of Tong Bible, it will be beneficial to establish faith-based training based on the Word of God as a daily habit.
