Part of being the “preacher” in the neighborhood is that you know people are watching you. It makes you keenly aware that the things you do affect their thinking about God and His Kingdom.
To be sure we’ve made mistakes over the years, but hopefully we’ve learned a few things also. One of the things we’ve learned is that if people know you’re a follower of Jesus your home is a lighthouse for The Kingdom. The question is, what kind of light is shining from it?
Some of the things we’ve found that can help your home shine for Jesus are:
1. Husbands and fathers pastoring their homes and leading the family members to find and fulfill their eternal destiny.
2. Fathers learning, living, and teaching the other family members God’s basic principles of personal life, family life, church life, evangelism and discipleship.
3. Fathers leading their families in daily fellowship time together sharing the word, praying for each other, and praying for other things God puts on their heart.
4. As they have opportunity family members sharing with people in the neighborhood about Jesus.
(Where there is no father, mothers can lead in doing these things)
It is our prayer that as you put these principles into practice your home will become a lighthouse for The Kingdom. God put you where you are for this purpose.
