Welcome Home

“That’s plain enough, isn’t it? You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He’s using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.”

- Ephesians 2:19-22 MSG

When everything feels upside-down and backwards and we can't seem to get our bearings...there is always Jesus. Always His Kingdom and community of faith. Not always at peace with this world, but more familiar and secure--more legitimately home than anywhere else we might have temporarily set up camp. 

Thank You God for your grace and humility. Thank You for being our Home, and building us into something durable and beautiful.
