When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.
It's amazing to me the number of people who will volunteer to help at church but won't lift a finger to help at home!
I was mentally, emotionally and verbally abused by my father as far back as I can remember until I left home at the age of eighteen
My father was a mean, controlling and manipulative person for most of his life. He was unpredictable and unstable. As a result, the atmosphere of our home was super-charged with fear because you never knew if what you did would make him mad or not.
Go home, and let all your relatives off the potter's wheel. You are not the potter!
One of the things I love most about being at home is that I'm comfortable there. And since we are the home of Christ, we need to make sure He's comfortable in us.
