Quick story…. The Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Florida has a Scriptorium. We highly recommend that you visit this if you are ever in Orlando.
The Scriptorium is a building where a large percentage of the world’s Biblical artifacts are housed on display. As a guest, you walk through each section one room at a time to see artifacts in chronological order to their time in History.
We walked through this amazing building filled with Biblical items and each room had a specific focus relating to the time period. By the end of the tour, you see all the work and sacrifice that has gone into you and I being able to hold God’s Word in our hands and homes today.

The end of the tour is not only eye opening, but heartbreaking.
You see the last room of the tour leads you into the gift shop. After visiting so many elaborate room settings and robotics to tell the story of God’s relationship with His people, the last room is a pass through living room just like in many homes today.
Sofas, coffee table with a Bible placed on it, art on the walls, a tv, radio, computer, and normal living room items filled this last room. The rooms people have previously passed through contained a laser burning the 10 commandments on stones as if God’s fingertips were inscribing them and stories told of the sacrifices made by important Bible leaders to bring us the Bible.
But the last room, the living room, was just a walk through many people barely noticed.
My daughter said, “Wait mom. Why would they drop us in a basic living room after what we just experienced?… Something is going to happen.”
She was correct. Something did happen. After a couple of minutes, the room became chaotic. The sounds and flashing lights of all the electronics turned on and made auditory and visual distraction. Glaring tv, radio and computers caused the eyes to wander around the room….. until all went quiet.
Then a voice came over and spoke words that we might not can remember word for word, but we got the message loud and clear.
Do our homes reflect what is most important?
•We have forgotten all the work and sacrifice that was from the past allowing us the privilege to possess God’s Word.
• We have allowed distractions and worldliness a more prominent place in our lives and homes to the point we don’t even notice the dusty Bible on the coffee table.
•Stuff and things take up our time and focus.
•We walk past His Word every day to get to the next entertaining room.
Don’t let this happen in your home. Make God and His Word such an important focus that your children desire to know Him more. Help them to remember all that was done so the Word, Jesus, and the sacrifice He gave for them is known to them and never forgotten.
