God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Because we often associate hospitality with our homes, here are some ways in which we can use those homes for the good of others. We can offer our homes for: 1. Home Bible Studies. 2. Home Cell Groups. 3. A place for traveling evangelists or conference speakers. 4. A place for visiting missionaries. 5. Sunday School parties. 6. Hosting singles’ groups. 7. Hosting youth activities. 8. Hosting dinners for the staff or pastors. 9. Providing dinners for international students. 10. Hosting Christian singing groups who may be traveling in our area. 11. A temporary place to stay for those families who move into our area. 12. Hosting dinners for the senior members of the church (golden agers). 13. A place for various church committees to meet. 14. A place where children can be provided for when their mothers need a day out. 15. By taking in people who do not have a home.

Curtis Thomas

Evidence, evidence, evidence, will be the one thing wanted when the great white throne is set, when the books are opened, when the graves give up their tenants, when the dead are arraigned before the bar of God. Without some evidence that our faith in Christ was real and genuine, we shall only rise again to be condemned. I can find no evidence that will be admitted in that day, except sanctification. The question will not be how we talked and what we professed, but how we lived and what we did. Let no man deceive himself on this point. If anything is certain about the future, it is certain that there will be a judgment; and if anything is certain about judgment, it is certain that men’s “works” and “doings” will be considered and examined in it (Jn. 5:29; 2 Cor. 5:10; Rev. 20:13). He that supposes works are of no importance, because they cannot justify us, is a very ignorant Christian. Unless he opens his eyes, he will find to his cost that if he comes to the bar of God without some evidence of grace, he had better never have been born.
