A Few Bible Thoughts For Your Day

Hey Everybody,

I hope your week is off to a great start.  I apologize for not writing my regular posts last week.  I was out of town.  But I'm back now for a while.

We are thinking about ideas for a "Parent's Night Out" sometime soon.  This will include dinner and a movie for the kids.  This is offered so that parents can receive a night out.  We have not cleared up the details yet, but if you might be interested, please e-mail me.  Also ask any questions that you may have.  We would also enjoy seeing everyone at our Sunday services.

For today, here are a few thoughts. 

A Home Prepared

In the English language some words bring a feeling of sadness.  One is "alone."  One that evokes much feeling of sympathy and compassion is "homeless."  In the wake of disasters, the news media speak of those left homeless.  What is even sadder is when there is a home available or prepared and those who need it don't know or don't care.

The Bible speaks of some homes that have been prepared.  The Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:8-17) was prepared by God as man's first home.  As someone has said, "To Adam, Paradise was home.  To the good among his descendants, home is paradise."  The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) had a home prepared, but he left it.  George Moore, in The Brook Kerioth, wrote, "A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it."  In the military you will often hear soldiers marching to the cadence song, "You had a good home but you left.”

Another home that has been prepared is spoken of by Jesus.  He invites us to live with Him.  "In my Father's house are many mansions ... " (John 14:2). The greatest home one can imagine has been prepared for God's children. Paul speaks of being "at home with the Lord" in 2 Corinthians 5: 1-9.  The phrase "at home" comes from endemeo in Greek, and it literally means "to be among one's people."  Ecclesiastes 12:5 says that "man goes to his everlasting home."  Isn't it great to know there is a home prepared and waiting!

A final word.  Jesus says that we must prepare ourselves for this home that has been prepared for us.  In Matthew 7:24.-27 He tells us to build our lives on the Rock that gives a sure foundation.  He is that foundation.  On what foundation are you building your house?

Have a super week.
