Hospitality: A Command for Our Joy
“The passage from Hebrews is reminiscent of Jesus’s words from Matthew 25:34–36, where he explains that our care for other human beings is like caring for Jesus himself. Contrary to our culture’s idea of having friends over for a dinner party, the focus of hospitality is not entertainment. Hospitality is simply opening your home to others. Most dictionaries add that it includes a “generous disposition” of the host to guests. This isn’t grudgingly having neighbors over because you “have to.” Nor must the table be set with fine china, cloth napkins, and the best tasting food.”
A Coward’s Guide to Evangelism
“Evangelism does not start with the right personality but rather an awareness that Christians are creatures who live in the physical world and yet have been given the gift of knowing the reality of the spiritual world. It’s an awareness that every person you meet is headed to one of two ends: a glorious eternal existence in a paradise that we can barely imagine or an immortal existence in what Jesus called ‘outer darkness.'”
Finding Freedom in God’s Providence
“Knowing that our Heavenly Father cares for us brings immense joy. We have the freedom to make biblical choices, confident that He watches over us. When our decisions align with His word, we can move forward with assurance.
We do not need to be paralyzed by fear of the unknown.”
