GOLDEN TEXT—These things 1 command

15:17. 1
The American home faces many
•nemies and powerful destructive in
fluences in our day. At times one
wonders whether this most impor
tant of all institutions has not so far
departed from what God intended it
to be that it has lost its place and |
power.
In such a time, it is important
that the Christian church keep be
fore the people, and especially our
young people, the Scripture teach
ing about the home. We need to
revive the old-fashioned home, with
its piety, purity and high purpose in
the plan of God. We begin right
when we note:
I. The Plan of God for the Home
. (Matt. 19:4-6).
When Jesus was challenged by
( the Pharisees, who claimed that a
1 man had a right to divorce his wife,
He appealed to Scripture. That is
; the sure foundation for right think
ing.
He referred them to the story of
the creation of man and woman in
Genesis 2:18-24. There it is re
vealed that in all the animal king
dom there was no creature suited
for fellowship with man. The one
who finds full satisfaction in the
company of a cat, a dog, or horse,
is just not up to norma!.
Adam must have a “help meet”
for him, that is, one suited by per- j
sonality and gifts to be his compan
ion. God made woman for that i
purpose and gave her to man. Thus
He established the home and or- j
dained that all through man’s his- j
lory there should be the coming
together of one man and one woman I
in that indissoluble union of love .
(v. 6) which makes the home.
We have forgotten God’s law, or j
have deliberately viplated it, and I
have broken down the home in its
very foundation. We had better be
gin to think seriously about the di
vorce problem if we are not to go
the way of other nations.
11. The Presence of Christ in the
Home (Luke 10:38-42),
Christ repeatedly honored the
home by His blessed presence. He
came to the wedding feast at Cana
of Galilee, and there He performed
His first miracle (John 2). He should
be the unseen guest at every Chris
tian marriage. Invite Him, expect
Him, honor Him, and He will bless
you.
One home in particular was a
place of rest and refuge for our
Lord when He was here on earth,
that of Ills friends, Lazarus, Martha
and Mary, in Bethany. He was a
welcome guest, always at home in
that household. Shall we do less in
our households? Wc see mottoes in
homes, “Christ is the unseen guest
in this home.” How appropriate!
But note that His presence in the
home gives Him opportunity to
teach and to direct the life of the
home. Mary and Martha had both
been busy about the work of the
household, but Mary knew when it
was time to stop being busy and sit
at Jesus' feet to learn and to be
blessed by His presence. She not
only worked, but “also sat at the
Lord’s feet” (v. 39). Martha went
right on working until she was dis
tracted, and came to censure her
sister. <
The answer of Jesus is signifi
cant. He did not rebuke Martha,
He only told her to get her life into
balance. There must be work in a
home, but those who make home
only a workshop miss its greatest
blessing. Home should be a place of
sweet fellowship between the mem
bers of the family, and especially
between them and the Lord.
111, The Power of Faith in th*
Home (II Tim. 1:3-6).
Family religion really pays. Th«
home with the family altar, where
God's Word is read as a natural and
proper part of daily living, where
prayer is made, and God’s good
ness is remembered in thanksgiving
and praise, that home will send
forth children who know the grace
of God, and are Prepared to heed
His call for service.
Timothy had ti grandmother and
a mother (one wonders where papa
and grandpa were) with unfeigned
faith. What a precious heritage!
That was far more valuable than
silver or gold, or farms or corner
lots. What heritage are you giving
your children?
Note the reference to Timothy’s
work as a minister of God in verse 6.
It was by the Holy Spirit’s call, and
was recognized by the church in
ordination, the “laying on of hands.”
But it is evidently closely connected
with that which is spoken of in the
verse before—the faith of his home.
There is power in that faith to send
a boy forth to valiant service for
i God and to keep him faithful in the
| day of trial. Give your boy and
girl something really worthwhile to
remember when they think of home.
Put the power of faith in the home
back of their lives in public for God.
