The Greek word translated "hospitality" means "love of strangers". Hospitality is a virtue that is commanded and commended in Scripture. It is required of every Christian. In the world, we find it easy to identify with and welcome people who look like us, think like us and have the same views of us but what about those who don't? What about the stranger, someone who disagrees with you and even an enemy? As we are growing to be like our Savior, it is important that we reflect his character in our hospitality to the believer and unbeliever, the saved and the lost, the one you agree with and the one you don't. In this episode, Diondra shares what she learned at the Women's retreat hosted by her church and Rosaria Butterfield's 'The Gospel Comes With a Housekey".
