Sacred Home


Joshua 22-24

In these chapters is found one of the greatest declarative statements of all time: “as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.”  All things are established in the home around our tables, our hearths our sick beds and back porches.   The home is the most sacred space on earth and all nations and cultures are established and kept by the homes they nurture. 

As assuredly as all things are established by the home, so can all things be lost there.   All things are one generation away from being abandoned and forgotten.  Remember our home is the most sacred space we have.  As we bathe and cook, watch TV and rock the babies, tuck children in and kiss rosy cheeks, each moment is an opportunity to declare, “as for me and my house we will serve________________.”
