A slave cannot live in the house.

Wednesday, 3/21/18

Jesus said anyone who sins becomes a slave of sin. He goes on to remind us that a slave cannot live in the lords house.

That would mean that if one is a slave to sinful habits, he only appears to live in the Lord's house.

The truth of that becomes clear when we look at the origin of our word, "Church."It comes from combining the Greek word for a "lord," which is "Kyre;" with the Greek word for a "house," which is is "oiky."  Through the word s"Kyre" and "oiky" being repeated over the centuries, the two hard "K"sounds were softened to two "Ch" sounds, and the word "church" emerged. We cannot really be at home in the church if we are slaves to sin
