Pastor Robby began the series The Elephant in the Home. He taught from Malachi 4:5-6. After seeing the elephant on the sofa in church, pastor reminded us that it is the phrase that reminds us there is an issue that everyone sees, but nobody wants to talk about.Ā In our homes, one of the biggest elephants is neglect. Not outright abuse. Not running away. Not walking out. Just slow, steady neglect. Being present but not engaged. Providing money but not modeling faith. Giving kids things but not giving them ourselves. The last words of the Old Testament deal with that elephant.Ā Godās last word before 400 years of silence was a word to the family. He knew our homes would be under attack. But He also promised a way home: Restoration begins when hearts turn back to Him.
