Every home a church

It has always been a question in my mind how we are supposed to grow as God's children and as a Church. In my discussions with the brothers here and with my wife, it seems that the way we can truly grow together as a family and as a church, is to integrate the family and the church. The family is the church first and foremost. It is only as we grow as a family that we grow as a church. If our beliefs as Christians do not transform our lives at home, it is pointless going out with the "good news" because the good news is not good news at all. Here's a diagram of our first steps as Christians in our families and in our communities:

"...4 Hear, Israel: God is our God; God is one:
and you shall love God your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart;
and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.
You shall write them on the door-posts of your house, and on your gates."
[Deuteronomy 6:4-9 - BBE]

To begin teaching our families about God, we must first walk as Christ would and follow His life. We teach by example. We disciple by example. We must talk, walk, think, eat, drink, and breathe Christ in our lives first.

Our homes must first become a church before we can draw others to become church with us.

I would most appreciate any comments you have on this.
