The Well-Built Home Eric Ludy Sermon Podcast: Church at Ellerslie

    • Christianity

There are two ways to build a house. One is with human ingenuity, human strength, and human determination. The other is with God-ingenuity, God-strength, and God-determination. Psalm 127:1 makes it clear that all house-building labor done in the human mode is vain. None of us wishes to waste our best energies on something that doesn’t hold eternal significance. And when you translate this same house-building truth to home-building, it becomes especially crucial. Because when it comes to something as sacred and precious as family — we really REALLY want to build it right.
