Right At Home September 19, 2007

Not quite four months ago Cortney and I bought our first house. Somewhere along my travels someone made the comment “How’s your new house? Is it home yet?” I got to thinking about what makes a house a home. I have this friend that I don’t see too often, but when I do see him we usually pick right up where we left off. The last time I saw him I think we knew that we were not going to see each other for awhile and so we prayed together before we parted. In his prayer he made this remark, “Jesus you are our home.” It resonated deeply with me and I’m not sure if I will ever forget that moment. I did not ask what he meant when we were finished, I didn’t feel I needed to. So back to the question of what is home. Home is where we are truly ourselves. Home is living and becoming. Home is safe and warm. Home is family. Home is acceptance. Home is rest. Home is love.
BROADWELL!!! good to know you’re alive bro. that “justification of GOd” is like eating a 20 oz steak. really good though. what do you think about “divine conspiracy”? fight the good fight, man…
Jim,
You are right about “Justification.” I started “Conspiracy” like three times. This time i hope to make it through. It is very thought provoking for me. I thought it might be a good follow up to the last book of Mere Christianity. I feel like i need a solid commentary on Matthew when soaking in Willard’s take on the Sermon on the mount. I’ve got a book by Carson that I’ll be cross referencing. Have you read “Conspiracy”?
