The doorposts...

A little over a year ago, we started building the house we are in now. We bought the lot, picked a builder, chose a house plan, and started watching our house be built. It was very exciting, and if you've been down this road yourself, you know that you worry about forgetting to add something to the house and it being too late if they've already moved passed that part in the building stage. They start with pouring the foundation, and then before you know it your watching the framing of your house go up! We went to look at the house a lot at this stage. One wednesday night at church, we were listening to Alfred Thomas teach, and he mentioned people writing scriptures on the doorposts of homes as they were being built. As the workers worked on the houses, they would see and read the scripture verses. I'm not sure if a soul has been saved through that, but it's a seed, right?! What a great way to share the gospel! God's word is like fire, Jeremiah 23:29!

Do you ever notice billboards on the side of the road that quote scripture verses, like "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world," John 1:29,  "If any man have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his," Rom. 8:9, "Jesus Loves You" John 3:16, "The end is near..." 1 Pt 4:7. I was reading some articles on scripture billboards, and they talked about the impact they have on the truck drivers. It is so amazing what the Word of God can do, and all we have to do to share it is just write it down! 

I want to write scripture verses all over my house so that I can see them daily in all that I do, so that my husband and children can remember them too, and so that anyone who enters our house can see and remember them as well. Let me know if you have good scripture verses that you use in your house!
