Deuteronomy 6:4-9

4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

This past Sunday night football game featured the Pittsburg Steelers playing at the temporary stadium for the Los Angeles Chargers. There were more Steeler fans than Charger fans and lead many to question whether the Chargers would ever have a home-field advantage in Los Angeles. There has been a revolving door of NFL teams in Los Angeles for decades. The instability with the Raiders, the Rams, and the Chargers over the years has led people to seek other teams to root for. It’s going to take a long time for the Chargers to develop a true home-field advantage.

Does God have home-field advantage in your home, or has instability in leadership caused your family to follow other gods? Do we “Love God, your God, with all you’ve got!” Do we “Write [God’s] commandments on our hearts?” Do we “Get them inside of us and then get them inside our children?” Do we “Talk about them wherever we are, sitting at home or walking in the street…from the time we get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night?” (Paraphrased from the Message)

Let’s give God home field advantage in our homes. This will take time, but there is no better time to invest in your families then now! You can bring your families to FBCW on Sundays or join us on YouTube as we continue in our Ten Commandment Study…see you then!
