(This
Second gives me meaningful Questions inside the Big Question: How Is My House
And Home)
Chris.
Is our
house or home a testimony for our own glory or for God’s Glory? If it only for our own glory it will probably be a very
grand or exquisitely decorated house that our visitors are in awe of but that
is about all. If it is for God’s Glory, His Presence will clearly be there. It
will be a house of Worship and Welcome. It will be a house of Joy and Divine
Life.
