The foundations of civilization are no stronger and no more enduring than the corporate integrity of the homes on which they rest. If the home deteriorates, civilization will crumble and fall.
The Bible says that as long as we are here on earth, we are strangers in a foreign land. There are enemies to be conquered before we return home. This world is not our home; our citizenship is in heaven.
Someday a loving Hand will be laid upon our shoulder and this brief message will be given: "Come home.
At great cost to Himself, God has made it possible for each of us to live with Him eternally. Those who reject God's offer of a heavenly home will be assigned to hell.
Although we may trust God's promises for life after death and the certainty of a heavenly home, we must still face the reality of death.
... the same hand that made trees and fields and flowers, the seas and hills, the clouds and sky, has been making a home for us called heaven.
The secret of a happy home is that members of the family learn to give and receive love.
Our valleys may be filled with foes and tears; but we can lift our eyes to the hills to see God and the angels, heaven's spectators, who support us according to God's infinite wisdom as they prepare our welcome home.
Homes that are built on anything other than love are bound to crumble.
I believe the home and marriage is the foundation of our society and must be protected.
The family should be a closely knit group. The home should be a self-contained shelter of security; a kind of school where life's basic lessons are taught; and a kind of church where God is honored; a place where wholesome recreation and simple pleasures are enjoyed.
Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love.
The basic unit of any society is the home. When the home begins to break, the society is on the way to disintegration.
In some ways, Christians are homeless. Our true home is waiting for us, prepared by the Lord Jesus Christ.
