Our home is so much more than a safe place with loved ones or storage for our belongings. Our home also consists of the knowledge that we gain, accept, and practice. The people, possessions, and knowledge in which we embrace enrich our lives and combine to make our home. This is why our home is so important to us.

Each of us has a need of belonging. If we ever lose this need, or knowledge, we flounder and lose our sense of reality. This makes it easy to entice us down paths that normally we wouldn’t visit. And if enough people in a community stray from their homes, we risk losing our loved ones, belongings, and our understanding. God our Father knew the importance of housing families in homes. He did this to bestow knowledge to the young; to protect the innocent; to give rest to the weary; and to provide for the hungry. Home gives us the seeds to grow to serve others. As we server others we find the ability to love those we serve. Isn’t the act of loving the force by which we exist? Didn’t God love us and in so doing; out of His love did He not create us?

There are those that would gladly poison our families, both body and mind, for money and power. Most of these threats seem harmless as they slowly erode the walls of our homes. It’s to us to come to know God and His ways so that we might anchor our homes on His knowledge and understanding. Evil is like flood water, it invades washing away soft soil and sand. However, if we reinforce our sand as sandbags the tide of water can be turned away from us.

The laws of God lend the structure we need to build sandbags of our sand. Choosing family activities that build our family’s collective knowledge of God’s ways brings God into the knowledge base of each family member. This can focus God’s influence in our home and... in the hearts of each family member.

A self reliant home is built to withstand temporal and immortal challenges. We boaster the weak. We strengthen the weary. We come to God when we come home. We have joy when we invite God’s love into our home despite the beasts and storms that beat on us.

We aren’t going to prod you for information or hound you for money to be a part of us. We’re looking for people that are seeking real security and are willing to exercise their God given gift of agency to be part of our knowledge pool.
