*Oikos is the Greek word for 'household'. HDC uses this term when speaking of the people in our relational world who we come in contact with on a regular basis.

Route 66: Day Six One More Stop
Key Scriptures: Genesis 19-21
Another thought about this story of Lot--Lot was willing to sacrifice his own daughters to protect the visitors in his house. The custom of offering protection to those under one's roof was taken very seriously and in this story we see the extreme measures Lot was willing to go to. It made me think--At High Desert Church are all about Oikos*-our eight to fifteen 'visitors' found under our roofs. To what extent are we willing to step out and face the enemy in order to show them the power of the God who saves?
