G. Campbell Morgan and the Christian Home

Perhaps you have heard the name "G. Campbell Morgan." Brother Morgan was an outstanding preacher and Bible teacher a century ago.

Shortly after he and his bride had set up housekeeping in their London apartment, his father came to visit. Perhaps a little proud of his tidy new home, he asked his father's opinion on it. After a moment's thought, his father replied, "I think it is very nice, but I didn't see one thing in it to indicate that it is a Christian home."

Brother Morgan took what his father said to heart. It is a sad truth that one could say the same thing about many Christian homes today. If God's Word is not welcome and honored there, how welcome is He?

Holy Scriptures on our home's walls have a sanctifying influence in our homes, bear witness to those who enter, and assist toward the fulfillment of the spirit of the Scriptural admonition found in Deuteronomy 4:6-9:

"And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates."
