Have you ever thought keeping your home clean with kids at home is like brushing your teeth while eating cookies? Or felt the temptation to avoid a project simply because of the aftermath? Proverbs 14:4 says, "Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox." Messes come with progress and fruitfulness through the messiness of work. Today I am going to share about the glory of the mess as well as a bit of cleaning insight to help you with your role as keeper of the home.

Two Proverbs to help you cultivate Christian culture in your home this summer (and help pave the way for the fall):
Grow in being hard to offend (because you are slow to anger through good sense).Scripture says good sense, or prudence makes a person slow to anger - that means the person is able to be cautious and deliberate the situation instead of being reactionary.
Proverbs 18:9 Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys.
Be a hard worker (in other words be on a trajectory of building something)This proverb punches hard when you consider what it means: there is no neutrality with work. With your work you are either building or you are tearing down.
“This proverb applies this principle to work. Constructive work is the law of human life and progress. There is an active principle of destruction operating in the history of man; and he who is a slacker at his work, who does not put into it all his strength, is a brother to the man who in wickedness sets himself to the activity of destruction. No living being can be merely a spectator. Each works or wastes. Not to work well, is to aid the process of waste.” G. Campbell Morgan
"We must recognize that from the very creation of mankind, God intended us to be workers, producers, and agents of growth and dominion. He connected our identity to our work. He established our telos-our purpose- as cultivators of creation. He called for a flourishing garden-a productive and beautiful place where our work does important things. God did all this." - David Bahnsen, Full Time

Our culture constantly uses the word “inclusive” but is there a time for the Church to exclusive? What about when it comes to matter of “church discipline?” Today I am sharing how we can avoid being deceived by worldly voices when it comes to being inclusive and exclusive in the church.

Show Notes:
The purpose of church discipline is the reconciliation and restoration of an unrepentant sinner.
Church discipline does not exist for personal vendettas against another; it’s not about a pastor being the ultimate judge or authority; and it’s certainly not the ability to condemn someone to hell.
The end goal in church discipline isn’t even punishment.
So what is church discipline and what is the aim, or purpose?
Church discipline is seen in several places in Scripture, but there is an excellent order given by Jesus to us in Matthew 18 concerning confrontation of sin and church discipline. Church discipline is the final plea for an unrepentant person to forsake their sin and turn back to the Lord.
There is a process met with a desire to see a person turn from their sin and know the grace of God, and for order and peace to be restored to the body of Christ.
The final part of the process is a removal of that person from the fellowship of the church.
For what purpose?
For the hope and prayer that they would come to realize and understand their sin and repent to the Lord. Then they are to be welcomed back warmly by the church.
Lord willing church discipline is a temporary experience for the unrepentant sinner, so that the Lord would use this to open eyes and soften their hearts.
Biblical church discipline is designed for the hope of restoration and with the aim of forgiveness and love.
That means for the offended, we must be ready to forgive. That means not giving way to the schemes of the devil that would like the offended to be bitter and angry and resentful. A lack of forgiveness on the church’s behalf of a repentant sinner means they are being outwitted by the designs of Satan.
The cold shoulder is a trap.
The bitter root is a deep trap.
In a Ligonier Table Talk issue this was written about church discipline, “When discipline is brought against Center, forgiveness, and restoration must always be the goal. We cannot control whether the center will respond with repentance, but we can stand ready to forget when Center turns from his transgression. As we are engaged in church, discipline, or even when we are facing someone who has sinned against us personally, and less significant way, let us stay and ready to forgive when the person repents.”

Today I am addressing cultural push back I received with advice on how being a mother hampers life and confuses the value of one’s work. Plus I’m sharing how to dig deep and develop a biblical worldview on motherhood with two simple questions.

Show Notes:
Much of culture's push back to biblical values and commands is rooted in humanism, which defies the authority and purposes of God. Psalm 128 teaches that those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways are blessed. Christians root their values and purpose in the Truth of the Scriptures which teach that God is the authority and lays out His ways for us to walk in.
When we read the Scriptures, we find our worldview including what to believe about motherhood. It should be wrapped up in the truth of God, and who we are according to him. While worldview involves our thoughts, it also involves our actions. And so here we have a full worldview of godliness, both the belief that there is prosperity when we fear and obey the Lord, and such a belief that our hands find themselves diligently doing these things. And from that there is prosperity.
"Religion and piety are the best friends to outward prosperity, giving God praise that it is so, and that we have found it so, and encouraging ourselves and others with it." Matthew Henry
Two questions you can ask are - by what authority and to what purpose? when considering the cultural push back to motherhood.

How do we pass on a biblical worldview to our children? Today I’m sharing two research based factors in transferring a biblical worldview to the next generation in our homes.

Show Notes
One question I think we need to think about as Christian parents who long for our children to walk faithfully as Christians is: Are there things we can do while our children are in our home to transmit a biblical worldview?
Two most important factors in transmitting a biblical worldview to your children, according to recent research: Habits and Pursuit.
Habits: Part of creating a family culture revolves around typical things you do in a family - your routines, your traditions, the repetition in your life. Make these habits God-centered and God-glorifying. Deuteronomy 8
Pursuit: This is the intentional process to seek out relationships with your children and spouse. That pursuit regardless of what is going on interpersonally will be a source of comfort, encouragement and security for your family.
And do it all with joy.
Nehemiah 8 “Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Spurgeon said, “When Satan temps us, his spark falls upon tender; but in Christ’s case, it was like striking sparks on water; yet the enemy continued his evil work. Now if the devil goes on striking when there is no result, how much more whill he do it when he knows what inflammable stuff our hearts are made of.” Today I’m sharing insights from the Scipture to help us prove faithful we the temptation for the counterfeit comes along.

A few battles in the American War for Independence helped turn the tide for the Patriots, but it wasn't because of their huge imposing armies. Today I am sharing a little American history and how it helped me remember that God uses the small humble things to accomplish big things demonstrating His might and glory. This includes God using the small humble Christian family to turn the culture back to one that exalts Christ.
