Joshua 24:15 – “…as for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord.”
A godly home is like an embassy of heaven. Whoever steps into a godly home should sense the influence of Christ.
There are no perfect homes because there are no perfect families. Godly homes are often occupied by blended families, single parents, and husbands and wives facing difficult realities. But God can turn any home into a godly home when He is passionately pursued.
Godly homes are…
1. Where there is a foundation of the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
“For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11).
2. Where Jesus is worshiped above all competing loyalties.
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created” (Revelation 4:11).
3. Where the Bible is read, spoken, and obeyed.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105).
4. Where prayers for one another and with one another are offered and answered.
“And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding” (Colossians 1:9).
