The Significance of Ministry at Home

byMarci Ferrell
“The challenge of ministry in our home is that we do not always feel very “spiritual” when we wash our dishes. It hardly feels significant to scrub our toilet. and we can feel that we are truly ministering when the Lord uses us to communicate a word of wisdom to someone, or He provides an opportunity to share the gospel with our neighbor. That seems like real ministry. And that is real ministry to be sure! But no more so than when we are wiping runny noses or cleaning the bathroom. That is because we have a very narrow view of true spirituality… The Lord wants to help us see the significance of ministry at home. He also wants to expand our vision for the multiple opportunities that we have for ministry in the home. Let’s ask the LORD to help us gain a biblical perspective of our ministry at home.”

  1. Amazing you posted this today. I have a dishwasher, but this morning I decided to wash dishes by hand, just becuse I missed doing it. Sometimes, if we allow the Holy Spirit to do what He wants in our lives, a sink can become an altar to God, with our tears of praise and worship falling in the soapy water. Thank you for this reminder
