Scripture tells us that everything created by God is good, especially when sanctified by the Word of God and prayer (1 Timothy 4:4-5). Therefore, as we move into the New Year and toward Epiphany, consider asking Pastor to come by for a house blessing.
In a house blessing, the name of God is invoked in blessing upon a home and all who dwell there. Then, going room by room, Scripture is read in the hearing of those dwelling there, and prayers are offered for the consecration of the home to the Lord. This was at one time a common pastoral practice in the Church.

🗣 “The times they are a-changin’.” Over the last 20 years, most every pastor has had people come with complaints of strange phenomena occurring in their home, especially at night. It seems since the advent of Rationalism and the scientific method, we all forgot that Satan and his minions are out there. However, in the last 50+ years, as Western society has broadly turned away from the Lord and His Church, the days are such that the Word of God and the name of God (through Holy Baptism) are no longer in the ears and hearts of people. This affords the evil one the opportunity for mischief, mayhem, and misery.
