3 John 1:8 We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth.

How do you treat people you don’t know? How many Christians have you unknowingly offended by saying the wrong stuff?

Just as they should have been ready when Noah had to intervene and tell the world it was about to get flooded because they had left God behind...

Stop and take account of how you should be living with God in your life – not as an afterthought, but an active and real part of your life!

Psalm 119:92 If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
