Home, faith, and service in Jesus teachings
The article contrasts biblical lessons on the home with a critique of church life, stressing that true religion centers in the home and in daily life. It cites Mary and Martha, the imperative to seek the kingdom, and warns against legalism, empty form, and selfish tithing while praising justice, love, and service as core duties. It recalls figures like Carey Judson and Lincoln and notes church power waning where rebuke of sin is scarce.
