In Days Like These

In a world marked by judgement and self-centeredness, God calls us to a radically different way of living - especially in our homes.

As Paul writes in Ephesians, husbands are to sacrificially love their wives as Christ loves the church. Wives are to trust their husbands, knowing they seek their good. Children are to honor and obey their parents.

When Christ is at the center, our homes become places of mutual love, respect and flourishing. Places that point to the beauty of the Gospel. In challenging days like these, we have to pay careful attention to how we "walk" - letting Christ transform even the most intimate spaces of our lives. It's there that legacies are made and the next generation learns what it means to follow Jesus.

"Have your heart right with Christ and he will visit you often. And so turn weekdays into Sundays, meals into sacraments, homes into temples, and earth into heaven." - Charles Spurgeon
