Harmony and preach inside the home is a thing to be desired. The home is the matrix under which all aspects of the self are incubated to function elsewhere. Because of this, if the home is not harmonious, the outer life will often times suffer. So often, this point is unseen or understood. The implication is that a home at peace will also create a life at peace. What I have often found is that a type of war between the home and life outside is perpetrated, with life outside the home being pitted against the home itself. One is used frequently to escape the other. Yet this is not the polarity of wisdom. The crux of controlling your life is to control your home. This is done by the outworking of grace. Grace is the mindset of affording blessings that are undeserved upon the merit of your own love. A man who blessed his family with forgiveness and kind words blesses his life with peace and harmony. He comes home to a shelter from whatever storm looms outside the home and slowly but surely extends its walls into the lives of all he touches. His definition of family and home rapidly expands into the lives of his friends, family and coworkers. The spectrum of this is unidirectional. It extends out from the home, not the other way.
