A house is different from home, though the dictionary might give them the same meaning. While a house is just a building to live in, a home is a house you live in with love. Heavenly homes are for the Children of the Kingdom in the presence of God’s Love.
Homes that are supposed to be havens for families are shattered and have become empty shells. Children are no longer brought up with love and do not know how to respond to genuine love or show it. Family values have been debased. Parents do not live in fear of God. Children no longer respect their parents. Trust has been discarded for suspicion and truth relegated to falsehood. All are in shambles. Shamelessness has taken over the front row, and disarray is the order of the day.
