The IDEAL home

 JESUS said:

Luke 10:5-6

King James Version

5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, 

first say, Peace be to this house.

6 And if the son of peace be there, 

your peace shall rest upon it: 

if not, it shall turn to you again.

Bear note, we said, the IDEAL "home".

We did not say "house", for it is but a structure.

A home is something else.

What, do you think, comprises an ideal home?

We shall have a rundown, at random, except for FIRST on the list -- JESUS.

The PRINCE of PEACE must be in that home, and all will be peace.

Other things that make a happy home?

These come to mind --

Parents who love each other.

Kids who love their parents.

Parents who love their kids, but don't spoil them.

Siblings who love each other.

A family that prays together, has meals together.

A family who puts down their phones when they eat.

A family that makes time to listen to each other, and play together.

A family who lives within their means.

A family who's not into vanity, or image-consciousness.

A family who genuinely cares about others.

A family considerate of their neighbors.

All these is possible, if the family adores GOD above all.

BLESS your home with the PRESENCE of GOD.

He is the One that makes your home a "home".

It's not the trappings of wealth, prestige, or possessions.

It's not fully-automated homes that may be cool, but may turn out to be "cold".

It's not having CEOs or over-achievers in your home who look down upon others.

It's not having super-rich folks who hardly see their spouse, or children.

It's not having meals and talking about your latest deals, acquisitions, or success.

It's not getting so hooked up on your gadgets, you hardly notice each other.

Ephesians 6:1-4

King James Version

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: 

for this is right.

2 Honour thy father and mother; 

which is the first commandment with promise;

3 That it may be well with thee, 

and thou mayest live long on the earth.

4 And, ye fathers, 

provoke not your children to wrath: 

but bring them up in the nurture 

and admonition of the Lord.

When you have JESUS in your home, it will be a restful, love-filled, sincere home.

You are relaxed with each other, because there is no need to be who you're not.

There is love, truth, faithfulness, prayer, and acceptance, at home.

You have respect for your parents, and parents respect you.

Parents will instill GOD's commands in you.

Best of all, they live by those commands, too.

Love and rules will be gentle, but firm.

There is authenticity at home.

If you're born again, the kingdom of GOD is in you.

The HOLY SPIRIT is in you.

He is also in your home.

Build such a home.

Build a responsible home, worthy of GOD.

Let JESUS be the MAIN Occupant.

Let Him be your Protector.

Let every room be filled with His LOVE.

Let every corner be filled with His LIGHT.

Let every family member be filled with His LIFE.

Let food be the LIVING WATERS that is GOD, and the BREAD of LIFE that is JESUS.

Let SPIRIT be your Guide on how to know JESUS, how to love GOD, and others.

That's what makes a family.

That's what makes a home.

It's all JESUS.

And full adoration of GOD.

Exactly as JESUS taught us.

Many homes are steeped in darkness.

Let your home be a light in your neighborhood.

All these are easy to do, and understand, once you're born again.

John 3:5-8

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: so is every one 

that is born of the Spirit.

A GENETICS adventure

 

1 Peter 3:15

King James Version

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: 

and be ready always to give an answer 

to every man that asketh you 

a reason of the hope that is in you 

with meekness and fear:

Do Bible and science mix?

Of course, it does.

Before we were, GOD was.

He is CREATOR of ALL things.

How can we deny GOD His Creation?

We, at PRAISE village, honor the ONE, TRUE GOD.

Can science be taught biblically, and coherently?

How about on matters of history, creation, or races?

Is there a teacher out there who connects all these with GOD's WORD?

Schools of the world will always teach things of the world.

It's to be expected.

Here at PRAISE village we have the alternatives.

The HOLY SPIRIT led me to two astounding teachers.

Both are educated in human biology, and plant genetics.

Yes, folks, we shall venture into a genetics adventure.

You will love listening to these science teachers, who have much to teach us.

It's never to confuse, but to fuse.

We've all been disjointed with what the world has taught us.

Or what the world left out.

Never again.

SPIRIT's on top of things.

ALL GLORY belongs to GOD forever!

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, 

and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

1 Corinthians 10:31

King James Version

31 Whether therefore ye eat, 

or drink, 

or whatsoever ye do, 

do all to the glory of God.

Colossians 3:17

King James Version

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, 

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

PRETTY little house

 

Haggai 1:8

King James Version

8 Go up to the mountain, 

and bring wood, 

and build the house; 

and I will take pleasure in it, 

and I will be glorified, 

saith the Lord.

PRAISE village has a simple concept:

To worship GOD alone.

We are not distracted by things of the world.

We like simple.

Thus, when I saw that PLAY house picture above, I was mighty moved.

My born again heart saw possibilities.

I imagined it on a larger scale, to house adults.

And kids, of course.

Thanks to the GENIUS creativity of Jen, a self-taught carpenter, and mother of two.

Sure, it's for kids.

But sez who you can't modify it, and make it for a whole family?

Connect with Jen, and she'll give you the plans for FREE.

That's the basic house design I envision for the village.

Just a simple structure, with a shed roof.

A warm, and cheerful structure that loves its occupants.

A home you'd love to come home to.

A home, with heart.

Add areas for living, dining, kitchen, bath, and a bedroom, or two.

Depending on how big a family is.

This play house design could also serve as shop, or office, for people at PRAISE village.

Who wouldn't want to go to work in a perfect, little structure such as this?

But definitely at PRAISE village, we have tiny homes.

Suffice it to say, I've finally found my dream home.

And it had to be a play house.

The roof will be slanted like the one above, shed-style.

Transom windows and front window will catch the sun every morning.

Ingenious, for it gives you additional peeks of light.

Position the main entrance to catch the morning sun.

This way, the house will be bathed with natural light, and give cheer to its occupants.

Apart from being able to save on unnecessary use of electricity.

That's always how I've imagined a house to be, having taken up architecture in the past.

I'm a simple thinker, with simple needs.

As born again, I've gotten even simpler.

I like what John the Baptist said about CHRIST, and himself:

John 3:30

King James Version

30 He must increase, 

but I must decrease.

A tiny house, a basic one, will help discipline born agains into worshiping GOD, instead of being caught up by possessions.

And yes, we keep those circular windows.

Our houses may be simple, but each house is filled with:

GOD's LIGHT, 

GOD's LOVE, and 

GOD's WISDOM.

I can envision such houses populating our PRAISE village.

Our community church will be that way, too.

Won't houses look the same?

All the better.

Families only need to put their own colorful curtain, or put favored plants on the wooden boxes.

Every house has the same natural wood exterior.

It's more economical to build shed roofs, for rain will flow down one side only.

Long-span roofing sounds good.

I've seen too many complex roofs that create leaks.

Our homes are for GOD, and families.

Not for show, or luxury.

We're too busy living GOD's TRUTH.

To have a FREE plan of this pretty play house, click this link now.

You can always build bigger, and taller for adults.

Just have the heart of a happy child, and the HOLY SPIRIT will surely fill your heart with ideas.

Dream with GOD.

Everything starts from small things.

Let it be a play house for GOD first.

We, perpetual kids, ALWAYS build for GOD first.

For we have no doubt who we serve:

Joshua 24:15

King James Version

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, 

choose you this day whom ye will serve; 

whether the gods which your fathers served 

that were on the other side of the flood, 

or the gods of the Amorites, 

in whose land ye dwell: 

but as for me and my house, 

we will serve the Lord.

I thank the HOLY SPIRIT for leading me to Jen's play house, which tickled my five-year-old heart, to share with you.

P.S. What is it about KENTUCKY?

I learned Jen is from Kentucky.

I also realized I had featured a simple log home before.

Also in Kentucky.

I have a basic book on the U.S.

So, I search for "Kentucky".

Predictably, it's a child's book.

Now, don't remind me about the fried chicken.

Also, I learned Jen's a Christian.

GOD really brings His people together.

I'm in AWE.

PARENTS at PRAISE village

 

Deuteronomy 11:1

King James Version

11 Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, 

and keep his charge, 

and his statutes, 

and his judgments, 

and his commandments, 

alway.

Parents at PRAISE village are born again.

They have committed their lives to the LORD.

They are instructed by SPIRIT each day.

Prayers are given to JESUS each day.

Everything is offered to GOD.

For His GLORY alone, and never man's.

Whether it be our lives, work, or children.

For, without GOD, we won't be here.

We won't even exist.

It's really as simple as that.

Being governed by GOD, parents can govern their children well.

GOD was clear how we are to bring up our children:

Deuteronomy 11:19-21

King James Version

19 And ye shall teach them your children, 

speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, 

and when thou walkest by the way, 

when thou liest down, 

and when thou risest up.

20 And thou shalt write them 

upon the door posts of thine house, 

and upon thy gates:

21 That your days may be multiplied, 

and the days of your children, 

in the land which the Lord sware 

unto your fathers to give them, 

as the days of heaven upon the earth.

This is not brainwashing.

This is being WASHED by the WORD.

That we may be acceptable to the LORD, our GOD, when the day comes.

That we may be guided by His SPIRIT each day.

That we may acknowledge the teachings of the LORD JESUS.

Everything JESUS taught, is to love GOD, and others.

What better foundation for kids, would there be?

That we may live a life, worthy of the SAVIOR's cross.

That His death, was not for nothing.

And that we would teach our children the same.

To revere the LORD, our GOD, forever.

Making sure we are all focused on GOD alone.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

We won't ask children to conform to the ways of the world.

Romans 12:2

King James Version

2 And be not conformed to this world: 

but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, 

that ye may prove what is that good, 

and acceptable, 

and perfect, 

will of God.

We won't ask them to be obsessed with wealth, or ambition.

Luke 9:25

King James Version

25 For what is a man advantaged, 

if he gain the whole world, 

and lose himself, 

or be cast away?

The ways of the world are in total opposition to the ways of SPIRIT.

Galatians 5:16-17

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other:

 so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

You've heard about leadership "by example"?

Born again parents live by example.

It's really as simple as that.

The JOYFUL village

 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

King James Version

16 Rejoice evermore.

17 Pray without ceasing.

18 In every thing give thanks: 

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus 

concerning you.

PRAISE village is a happy born again village.

For we know JESUS can return ANY moment.

GOD decides when.

In the meantime, we study the WORD, we live the WORD, and we share the WORD.

The WORD of GOD is center of our existence.

And since JESUS is the WORD, He is the center of our existence.

John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.

What could be more exciting than to see the LORD, and to be with Him?

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

What could be more exciting than to have ETERNAL LIFE with JESUS?

John 11:25-26

King James Version

25 Jesus said unto her, 

I am the resurrection, 

and the life: 

he that believeth in me, 

though he were dead, 

yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me 

shall never die. 

Believest thou this?

All you have to do is seek GOD.

Believe in His SON.

Repent of your sins.

Believe in the gospel.

For the time is at hand.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

Everything we're doing on earth -- our life, our work -- is but preparation.

Everything must be consecrated to CHRIST.

That's why we at PRAISE village are happy, and content.

To have JESUS in your heart, suffices.

To have GOD love us, is all we need.

To have SPIRIT teach us, makes us feel so blessed.

To live by the BIBLE, guides us each moment.

We are in GOD's good company.

We are happy to share our village with you.
