Thanks for tuning in, it's an honor to be with you.

As we study God's Word together, may our time uplift and encourage you.

If you could use some hope, I pray you find it here today.

Hello there my friend, welcome back and thanks for listening today.

For many of us, mid-August means summer is coming to a close. We're planning for back-to-back

school or fall work projects. We're going to be busy. So as we prepare to resume these

busier schedules and stricter routines, we're going to spend the next few weeks on the podcast,

talking about God's plan for home and family. More outside demands for our time and attention

makes now a great time to remember that the family is God's idea and our homes, well,

in those homes God does His most sanctifying Word.

You were to Google the phrase most sacred spots on earth. You'd be taken on a world tour.

You'd see a picture and read about Ularo Cottage National Park in Australia. It's a flat

top sandstone rock that stands about 1,100 feet in the air six miles around.

Then there is the Cenote Sagrado in Mexico, a sacred spring that was worshiped by the Mayans.

They believed that the God of rain himself visited there. Once Mount Sinai in Egypt makes a list

as does the crater lake of Oregon and Glassenberry Tour in England.

Curiously, there's one place that does not make the list, at least on Google,

but it certainly makes God's list. When He lists the most sacred spots on earth, He would include

on it your home. That's right, the residence where you live, that spot on earth,

where your children play and your parents visit in your dog's lumbars. It's holy.

It's sacred. And it's set apart for a special purpose. Let's begin talking about your holy

home. Jesus ordained marriage as holy when He said, what God joined together, let not man separate.
