The home.php template has a highly specific meaning in WP. It is meant for only showing the latest blog posts. It shouldn't have custom queries within it. Use a custom page template for custom queries.
If the sole reason for this is the "more posts" feature, integrate with a plugin like Jetpack, which has such a feature built in.
