On Being Hospitable Series

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Jun 19, 2009

Part II of the Four-Part Vision: God instructs his people to practice hospitality. What does this mean as we receive guests in our congregations? Are we ill-prepared to welcome our guests? Or do we receive them as the blessing and gift that God intended?

Congregations are families. The longer that they are together, usually the harder it is to let other people become part of the inner circle of the church. And yet, we know that – just as we are to be hospitable as families – we are also called to be hospitable as groups of believers. The writer ...read more

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 24, 2021

Just as the prophet Elijah challenged the people of Israel to make up their minds as whether to serve God or Ba'al, the same question needs to be brought before America today. The time has come to settle the issue and accept the consequences.
