Home ought not be viewed as a castle, haven of rest, or a calm in the midst of the storm! Indeed! When a man, woman, or child goes home, they arrive on a mission field!
1 Timothy 5:8, “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.â€
While the focus of this verse is primarily on financial support; yet the 'spiritual' certainly would not be excluded here. Paul is saying that the bottom line in ministry is what you do in the home. Don't tell me about a passion for the lost, or your fidelity to the Great Commission, or you’re longing for the non-believer, or your desire to serve in the church if you are neglecting your home. If your wife and children are not your chief disciples, your faith is all a sham.
