What do you think makes up a home?
What is the difference between a house, and a home?
Let SCRIPTURE define it for you.
4 For every house is builded by some man;
but he that built all things is God.
Hebrews 3:4
King James Version
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thine heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy might.
6 And these words,
which I command thee this day,
shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently
unto thy children,
and shalt talk of them
when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the way,
and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
Deuteronomy 6:5-7
King James Version
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord,
choose you this day whom ye will serve;
whether the gods which your fathers served
that were on the other side of the flood,
or the gods of the Amorites,
in whose land ye dwell:
but as for me and my house,
we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
King James Version
29 Therefore now let it please thee
to bless the house of thy servant,
that it may continue for ever before thee:
for thou,
O Lord God,
hast spoken it:
and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant
be blessed for ever.
2 Samuel 7:29
King James Version
91 He that dwelleth
in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord,
He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God;
in him will I trust.
Psalm 91:1-2
King James Version
127 Except the Lord build the house,
they labour in vain that build it:
except the Lord keep the city,
the watchman waketh but in vain.
Psalm 127:1
King James Version
33 The curse of the Lord
is in the house of the wicked:
but he blesseth the habitation
of the just.

3 Through wisdom is an house builded;
and by understanding it is established:
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled
with all precious and pleasant riches.
Proverbs 24:3-4
King James Version
16 Therefore
thus saith the Lord God,
Behold,
I lay in Zion for a foundation
a stone,
a tried stone,
a precious corner stone,
a sure foundation:
he that believeth shall not make haste.
Isaiah 28:16
King James Version
18 And my people shall dwell
in a peaceable habitation,
and in sure dwellings,
and in quiet resting places;
Isaiah 32:18
King James Version
25 And the rain descended,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house;
and it fell not:
for it was founded
upon a rock.
Matthew 7:25
King James Version
14 Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God,
believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so,
I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:1-2
King James Version
5 For we know that if our earthly house
of this tabernacle were dissolved,
we have a building of God,
an house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens.
2 For in this we groan,
earnestly desiring to be clothed upon
with our house which is from heaven:
3 If so be that being clothed
we shall not be found naked.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan,
being burdened:
not for that we would be unclothed,
but clothed upon,
that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 Now he that hath wrought us
for the selfsame thing
is God,
who also hath given unto us
the earnest of the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 5:1-5
King James Version
