Homes. They come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Whether urban or suburban, new or old, big or small, ordinary or extraordinary, our homes are as diverse as we are.  They tell our stories and express our individuality.  But in a society that laments its loneliness and pain, our homes must become something more than the skillful blending of design and décor. Once the rooms are painted and the furniture’s in place, we’re not done. Furnishing a house is one thing. Creating a home is another. After all, when we furnish a house, we can pick and choose what we like. But when we create a home, we learn to work with what we’ve been given. Consequently, returning certain family members because of “defects in workmanship” isn’t an option. We were created to live together as family, to flourish in the safe, nurturing environment of a home. Loneliness and pain are the by-products of “homelessness,” a condition as common in the suburbs as it is in the streets.  In the midst of this cultural reality, there’s hope and help for anyone who’s interested. There is a place where you can find thoughtful answers, gain fresh perspectives, and build meaningful relationships. It’s called the church, and it may be a place that you’ve overlooked in the past or an option that you haven’t considered. However, this may be just the right time for you to give church a chance. What the church teaches and shares is rooted in its own experience and the timeless and practical wisdom of the Bible. Given the opportunity, the church can help you in your own quest to discover and create a place to call home.
