First Baptist Danville Indiana - Pointing People To Christ

Home Sweet Home

Friday, August 20th, 2010 by Jon McDugle

Not long ago I was in another country for a few days. It was a blast but as I returned home my entire being seemed to sigh…”AHHHHHHHHHHH”! When the fridge is full and love is in the house there is no better place on planet earth than HOME sweet HOME!

“HOME” was God’s idea! And He has given us all the info we need to build homes that are marked by “Shalom” peace. Home is to be a place of rest and refuge from frigid winds of everyday life in a world that can be less than peaceful!

As a church family we’re jumping into a three week focus we’re calling “LOVE in the house”! I’m praying that this focus will push the love levels in our home up and too the right! As I’ve thought about this theme it’s caused me to thank the Lord again for my mom and dad who worked and prayed to provide a home filled with the Shalom peace that God’s presence brings. He is the “love big” professor that will bless your home if you let Him – “Now about brotherly love we do not need to write you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.” – 1 Thess.4.9.

Have a great day loving big!
