A Little Bit of Heaven on Earth

Living in a home filled with the love and the peace of God Himself is almost like living in heaven right here on earth. We all know that’s true. And we long to live in such a home. Yet, time and time again, we shortchange our families. We spend our kindest words and our most winning smiles on those beyond our front door.

Have you ever wondered why?

Step Into the Light

As long as you live by the Word of God, you never have to be in the dark again. You never have to remain in confusion about which path to take. You never have to grope blindly along, struggling to find your own way.

Peace at Home

Have you ever noticed that the easiest place to remain self-centered is at home? There’s an incentive to be lovely with others, but with your family you are tempted to allow yourself more selfish privileges as if it didn’t count there.

Before I was a Christian, I was more courteous and nicer to friends than to my own family. I was more demanding and less forgiving with those dearest to me than with anyone else.

The Love Filter

The Love Filter is a principal the Lord has given as a prerequisite to understanding the nature of God, that we may accurately interpret His Word. It is an absolute truth that causes deception to be trapped and filtered out of our perception of God. These are the foundational scriptures upon which the Love Filter is based.

1 John 4:7

Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is born of God and knows God 8But anyone who does not love does not know God – for God is love.(NLT)

Love is the first thing we need to know about God. It is the foundation, the first of who and what God is and it is the basis of everything He created. Love is what moves Him to do the lovely things he does and it is His only motivation. Knowing that God is love is of the utmost importance and it is equally significant that we understand what the definition of love is.
