When does it happen?
Deuteronomy 6 instructs us to impress God’s commands on our children “when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” The Lord asks this of us immediately after inviting us to love Him with all that we are.
Of the four situations above, three center on our homes: sitting at home, lying down to rest at night, and getting up in the morning. This teaches us that our love of God and love of people—in short, our faith—should be a central part of all that we do in life, especially at home.
While Deuteronomy 6 is talking about parents and their children, even if you don’t have children, the principle of “always and everywhere” rings true, doesn’t it? We all need to be living an authentic 24/7 faith.
A few years ago, WWJD bracelets became popular as a physical representation of this principle. We wore them as a reminder to honour Christ always and everywhere. The Faith@Home initiative seeks to help accomplish the same end, encouraging us to embrace a faith-filled and Christ-centered home life.
