John 6:66-69 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. In the Life of Philip Henry it is said, "He and his wife constantly prayed together, morning and evening." He made conscience of closet worship, and abounded in it. It was the caution and advice which he frequently gave to his children and friends, "Be sure you look to your secret duty; keep that up, whatever you do; the soul cannot prosper in the neglect of it. Apostasy generally begins at the closet door." Besides these, he was uniform, steady, and constant in family worship from the time he was first called to the charge of a family to his dying day. He would say, "If the worship of God be not in the house, write, 'Lord, have mercy upon us,' on the door; for there is a plague, a curse in it.'"
