For the Holy Spirit comes in the Father’s and in the Son’s name and authority, to put the last hand to the work of our salvation, by bringing all the fruits of election and redemption home to our souls in this work.

“As a boy, I was not a Christian. I did not have the privilege of growing up in a home where Christ was known & loved.
God spoke to me through a street preacher who quoted the words of Jesus, “Come unto me, all ye that labour & are heavy laden & I will give you rest.”
If we assume man has been corrupted by an artificial civilization, what is the natural state? the state of nature from which he has been removed? imagine, wandering up and down the forest without industry, without speech, and without home.
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau
There’s no reason to pity a person if he dies or loses his money, if he has no home or property, because none of those things belong to man. But there’s reason for pity if a person loses his one true possession, his highest blessing: his ability to love.
—Leo Tolstoy
A rich man has fifteen rooms for three people and he won’t let a poor man spend the night in his home and get warm.
A peasant has a fifteen-foot wide hut for seven people and he gladly takes in a stranger.

When all the elect are brought home in a reconciled state in Christ, when the marriage of the Lamb is come, our work and office expire together.
—John Flavel
Your profession is not what brings home your weekly pay-check, your profession is what you’re put here on earth to do, with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.
—Vincent Van Gogh

Every traveler has a home of his own, and he learns to appreciate it the more from his wandering.

It looked impossible. But we have not to look at things from a human point of view, so that did not matter, and we reckon on God who is at home in impossibilities.
—Amy Carmichael
We should confess Christ constantly. We should not be ashamed of our Lord and King. We should let people know that we are on His side. In the home, in the church, at our work, and at our play, we should let others know where we stand.
—R. A. Torrey
The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy.
Do not interfere with an army that is returning home.
—Sun Tzu
One road leads home and a thousand roads lead into the wilderness. – C.S. Lewis
Ah, steeds, steeds, what steeds! Has the whirlwind a home in your manes? Is there a sensitive ear, alert as a flame, in your every fiber? Hearing the familiar song from above, all in one accord you strain your bronze chests and, hooves barely touching the ground, turn into straight lines cleaving the air, and all inspired by God it rushes on!
—Nikolai Gogol
Overlong sermons… call off the thoughts from the sermon to the pudding at home that is in danger of being overboiled.
—John Newton
Your home has its own truth and power and will!
