Sunday, that is, October 7, 2018, a beautiful morning with bright yellow, orange, and red leaves cling on trees in our and neighbors' yard before they fall over the ground, and once again reminded me of an autumn season! Morning, I took a casual amble through my neighborhood to fill my lungs with cool
And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. ~Mark 3:25 You might remember this verse in the Bible where Jesus is casting out demons and He rebukes His accusers when they say that He gets his power from Satan. But today I want us to think about the principle of this verse and how it can apply to us today in our homes and marriages. We all know how important it is to have a strong home built on a strong foundation. But what if your home is divided? THE PROBLEM Your home can be divided in many ways. One of the many ways homes are divided is when the wife and the husband are not getting along. There is arguing and strife, and the roles are no longer respected. The wife is not submitting to the husband and always finding something wrong with him. The husband has stopped loving his wife and shows it in more ways than one. The sad part of it all is that when there is not unity at the helm often times things can trickle down to the children and cause dissension there too. Children will watch their parents argue and soon begin bickering among themselves. Shortly after that you might even find a lashing out towards parents as well. GOD HAS ORDERED THE HOME God has ordered our homes and gave us guidelines to follow so that there may be peace and that we may bring glory to Him as we obey Him. It is so important that our homes do bring Him glory because God wants all area of our lives to be in submission to Him. It is easy to hide the messy behind closed doors to our friends and our neighbors, but we need to remember that God has grace and mercy on us as sinners, and all of us (at one time or another) are imperfect in this area. We can all get off track---but the important thing is to get back on track with what His Word says. A home in disorder or divided, that is up in arms against each other, does not bring Him glory. We need to start with ourselves and ask ourselves how did we get to this place and get away from God's Word? Is there a pattern in our lives that is sinful that we have been allowing into our homes? THE CRACK IN THE FOUNDATION So often we let sinful ways into our lives and more often than not it begins with our thinking. We want to do things our way, we are prideful, we are self-centered. We want to control and then we act on it. A godly friend of mine used to say--"The battle begins in the mind." We need to take captive every though to Jesus Christ and align it with His word if we desire to have strong homes that flourish. I think about the foolish man who house was built on sand versus the wise man who build his built his house upon the rock. When the storms come and the rain comes crashing down--which will be standing? Now, let me ask you--will yours be standing? SIX STEPS TO A STRONGER HOME So, dear friend, if you have a home that has been divided against itself take steps today to resolve these issues immediately. Often times it begins with ourselves. Ask yourself: 1. How have I sinned? - Yes, you. Not your husband, not your children. Get yourself right with God first and ask Him humbly to show you the errors of your ways. So often we are too busy pointing our finger to not notice the three that are pointing right back at us. 2. Do I need to ask for forgiveness? -This can be hard but it is a necessity. Just do it! We can break free of old sinful patterns in our lives when we do this. It helps free us up for walking unhindered in our relationships and with the Lord. 3. Do I need to forgive? Maybe you are holding on to unforgiveness and somewhere the root of bitterness has crept it's way into your life. Forgiveness is a must. 4. Do I need to repent and change how I have been living to make my home a home that can bring God glory? It is not enough to ask for forgiveness but true repentance will bring change. Worldly repentance will not. Take purposeful steps to prevent the same cycle of sin from happening again. 5. What steps do I need to take immediately to bring restoration in my family (with my spouse, children, parents, etc.)? These steps will be different for each person. My thought for you is to pray over what it will be. Ask for the Lord for wisdom and He will give it to you. Seek your pastor or a biblical counselor for advice if you do not know where to begin. 6. What can I do to ensure that my home is not divided against itself in the future? Keep your home and yourself God-centered. Be the example and set the pace towards peace and unity there.Pray over your home and remember that a humble and teachable spirit will go a long way. Meditate on God's Word if you struggle with certain sins. For example, if you struggle with anger you could memorize verses like "The anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God." Let's build strong homes today to bring God glory and not let Satan get a foothold in our marriages and our children! Helpful resources: How to Build a Strong Christian Home

In 52 years of life I have never witnessed a time in our country and maybe even the world where people were more divided. The title of our lesson is a spin-off of a saying used in some mottos and even some songs that says, “United we stand, divided we fall.” No one really knows the origin of the phrase but we can see the principle of the idea at work when Jesus said, “If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand (Mk 3:24-25).” I sense that there is a calculated effort to divide our country and our world; Not along the lines of ideas but along lines where division is unnatural and destructive. For example, some political leaders, along with their political operatives, recognize that it is easier to consolidate their power within smaller groups than it is within the larger populous. How is this accomplished? Division! Women are pitted against men with the “war on women” offensive anytime someone suggests even the slightest restriction on murdering babies through abortion. Non-white people are turned against white people with the liberal use of the “racism” card whenever a white person even hints at the disproportionate danger that the failing public school system, government subsidies and the welfare state poses for racial minorities. The rich, pejoratively described as the “millionaires and billionaires,” are demonized consistently as victimizing the poor by building wealth on the backs of the poor as though no one benefits from the wealth of the rich because we all know that the rich don’t employ or otherwise support millions of other people but instead bury their money in a hole in the backyard or hide it between their mattresses {read: sarcasm}. Even children are shamefully used to blame their parents for all the ills of our country. Anyone who doesn’t embrace the militant gay-rights agenda and same-sex marriage is labeled a “homophobe.” The elderly are constantly warned by the fear-mongers that those who are younger believe they are a strain on the financial system and might have to forfeit their social security and medical benefits. Union bosses fan the embers of hatred that always seem to be present between its unionized constituency and management. And these are just a few of the divisions that are constantly being manipulated. But worst of all, Christians are afraid to take stand up for biblical truth and shine a light on the evils of our culture because they are immediately labeled as hateful and intolerant as though name-calling somehow changes the truth about evil. Power brokers, fear-mongers and race-baiters might look at this and see an effective strategy but I see something deeply troubling and evil. We are not meant to be divided along any of these lines. This is not division based on ideas that might be natural since we are uniquely created individuals. This division is unnatural and evil with the final result being hatred of one another. And who benefits most when people hate each other? Temporally, people seeking power and fame might benefit by peoples’ hatred for one another but ultimately, Satan benefits when humanity is divided and bathed in hatred. We think that our difficulty is with people who have different ideas than we do. But differing ideas don’t, in and of themselves, create hate. Differing ideas can be good because the can open our minds to another way; maybe a better way. As I said before, differing ideas are the result of uniquely created human beings. Instead, we are fighting against the Devil who uses sinful humanity to advance his cause of leading as many people away from God as possible. It is an age-old, yet brilliantly devious, strategy of turning humanity against one another. Hatred and division are the great obstacles to being in relationship with God. One cannot love God yet hate humanity (1 John 4:20; 21). Paul spoke of the unity of the Church in his letter to the church in Ephesus—the unity between all people: husbands and wives; children and parents; masters (employers) and slaves (employees). In the context of Paul’s teaching about unity in his letter to the Ephesians, Paul uses a military illustration to make his point. There is a battle raging, but it’s not a battle of ideas and even though it appears on the surface to be a battle between people, it’s really a battle between good and evil. Satan knows that once humanity is divided, sin will take its natural course and grow into hatred. Satan also knows that an environment of unity is the most conducive environment for nurturing love. This is the environment of the Church; at least it should be. The Church is the place where love must flourish. It’s no accident that the Church is called the “comm—unity” of faith. Satan knows that United We Love, Divided We Hate. Subject Text Ephesians 6:10-18 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. I know this lesson has been detailed and complex with many elements. However, I want to bring us back to the overall theme of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians-unity. Is it really so hard to imagine Satan creating division in order wage a more effective battle? It is a well-known military strategy known as “divide-and-conquer!” A single wolf or a pack of wolves will not try to devour an entire herd. Instead they will divide the herd until an opportune victim presents itself. Satan, like the wolf, is an opportunity feeder ever dividing in order to expose the weak. To advance that strategy, he uses men and women, much like he did Judas. Do not be deceived Church! Satan will use men, women, blacks, whites, rich, poor, old, young, parents and children and anyone else in any way necessary to create division. And what is the natural consequence of division? Hatred! Division inevitably spawns hatred and when we hate each other, we cannot love God and when we cannot love God we are separated from God and when we are separated from God we cannot stand against the Devil’s attack. Division will be our ultimate destruction, unless we take a stand and dig in our heels with God’s strength and reject division, and unless we take our stand using the truth to shine a bright light on the liars who would divide us in any way. However, our lives must reflect the righteousness that comes from God if we hope to have any credibility when we speak the truth. Our feet must always be prepared to advance the gospel of peace that will trample the lies that create division and hatred. We must use our faith as the shield that deflects the lies that are thrown at us—lies that say if we are men then we hate women; lies that say if we are white then we hate non-whites; lies that say if we are poor then we hate the rich; lies that say if we are old then we hate the young, or lies that say if we are children then we hate our parents. These lies are simply Satan’s flaming arrows intended to destroy us. We must lean into the certainty of our salvation with the knowledge that nothing can separate us from God unless we ourselves turn our backs on Him through our hatred for one another. We must skillfully wield the sword of the Spirit for it is the word of God that will break down all the walls that divide us. During the years when East Germany and West Germany were divided by the Berlin Wall, the respective governments of the two countries, and to some extent its citizens, at best mistrusted one another and at worst disliked one another. However, when the wall was destroyed in 1990 and East Germans and West Germans danced arm-in-arm, a stranger to the scene would not have been able to discern which person belonged to which country. Mistrust and hatred flourished when the wall created division, but when the division was destroyed, mistrust and hatred was defeated. Some think that human legislation can remove division from humanity and force people to love and accept one another, but this is not possible. Satan is far too powerful to think that some human institution could marshal the strength to wage war against anything that is conceived in the spiritual realm. To complicate matters, many don’t accept the reality that Satan exists, many don’t care that Satan exists, and many have no idea what Satan’s warfare even looks like. What combination could be more lethal than unbelief + complacency + ignorance? It is the perfect combination to feed Satan’s insatiable appetite to divide and conquer. We cannot battle Satanic forces with human institutions because the battle is not against flesh and blood. The sooner we face that reality, the sooner we will begin to pray continuously that we would be fitted with God’s armor to be able to stand our ground, withstand the assault, and fight back with confidence and strength knowing the battle has already been won. Satan was defeated when Jesus’ grave was empty on the third day! Nevertheless, daily we hear the battle cry when Satan uses sinful humanity to create division. Until Jesus’ return, the battle rages on. However, we need to learn what Satan already knows—United We Love, Divided We Hate.

This fabulous piece of public art, standing ten metres tall and made from galvanised steel, was unveiled in August 2010. It is the work of the acclaimed Glasgow artist Andy Scott. Named Arria, it overlooks the A80 main Glasgow to Stirling trunk road at Cumbernauld, where it is estimated that it will be viewed by 70,000 motorists daily. Costing £250,000, it has divided residents in the town, with some questioning the use of public funds for such a project.
Seeing one of Modernity’s stands at an art fair gives the perfect sense of the furniture gallery’s philosophy. Take, for example, the 2015 London edition of the Pavilion of Art and Design where they had a large stand with two separate seating areas divided by a beautiful dining table. Two of the three walls had small wooden slats placed close together in what looked like a striped effect. It was something completely out of the ordinary and actually made the furniture interact with the walls as opposed to merely existing within them.
