Entertaining Angels

“distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.”
    Romans 12:13

       We are stewards of God. We need to distribute what God blessed us with. We need to do it especially for the saints that are in need. Don’t wait to be asked, seek opportunities to be hospitable.

      A great distinction of Christianity is our concern for the needy. No man is truly genuine in his walk who does not exhibit that quality of character (James 1:27).  We need to seek to be hospitable to strangers (1 Tim. 5:10).  

      By being hospitable to strangers some have entertained angels (Heb. 13:2). That could be reference to Abraham and Lot (Gen. 18:1; Gen. 19:1). Not that that should be a reason for our hospitality but it should provoke an understanding of watchfulness in hospitality.  Although many may go away served giving back nothing more than a thank you, there are some that are a blessing and honor to the host.

      He who has pity on the pour lends to the Lord. The Lord will pay back what is given (Proverbs 19:17). When we live and give in this manner we do it unto Him (Matt. 25:31-46). 
  Do you seek to distribute to the needs of those in the body?

Are you hospitable to both the brethren and strangers?

Are being a steward of God and giving you blessings?

Who can you serve today?

My Thoughts

Think on what is lovely. Let God direct your mind to what is truly lovely in this world. At the very least that tree, flower, and blade of grass that He made and you saw today is lovely. Let Him influence your thoughts every day until you think on what God considers lovely. Then dwell on those things. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Col. 3:16) There will be an overflow of lovely thoughts pour from your mind. Think about how encouraging to others that would be. Think lovely thoughts.

"I Don't Wana Go" :(

Christianity is much more than just Sunday morning. In fact it’s an everyday focus, "pick up your cross daily" Christ said ( Luke 9:23 ).  Because of that everyday race running the assembling of the saints should be what we look forward to ( Heb. 12:1-2, 10:25 ). It's the one place we can be around those we are in fellowship with that are seeking to achieve the same goal, Heaven. A place to be rejuvenated, to mature, and to worship God. A reason why you should be seeking such assembling's of the saints and excited to be a part of it is that there is nothing else like it. You were made one of them when you were immersed into Christ. You live every day without that group at your side. So a few days a week you get to be around the saints ( Eph. 2:19, 2 Cor. 13:13 ). Who see the world the way you do ( Romans 12:2; James 4:4 ). Who live in the world the way you do ( Matt. 5:13-16 ). Who desire to be like Christ like you do ( Phil. 2:5; 1 John 2:6 ). Most importantly ...

Your Structure

“But  I  discipline  my  body and bring it into subjection, lest, when  I  have preached to others,  I myself  should become disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27). It would be best if you worked on creating in your mind mental structures for success. A study was done where  two basketball teams had to shoot free throws. One group went out and shot 100 free throws with something life 30% accuracy. The second group had sat for 30 minutes and visualized making a perfect free throw 100 times. That team went out and shot 100 free throws with 75% accuracy. What is the difference? The mental structure. You can do the same. Paul said, “I discipline my body, I seek to please God.” Just like Paul, we must get in our heads what we will do to be successful in Christ. Work to create Godly mental structures.                          ...
