In Romans 12:10-13, Paul puts &#8220;practicing hospitality&#8221; on the par with being &#8220;devoted to prayer&#8221; and &#8220;serving the Lord.&#8221; Welcoming others modeled God&#8217;s welcoming gospel. The front door of the house became the side door of the church.<\/p><p>It is always helpful to remember that the practice of Biblical Hospitality is not entertaining or trying to impress.\u00a0 It is simply &#8220;inviting&#8221; strangers into our reality&#8211;sharing with others our life, our home, our provisions.<\/p><p>Biblical hospitality has a different focus than entertainment. When one entertains, the concern is how beautiful the table is or how clean the house. The desired outcome is to make a good impression. But when being hospitable, one&#8217;s focus is on the people you welcome. You seek to minister to that person, to meet that person&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d9a9593 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d9a9593\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-39f6805\" data-id=\"39f6805\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-237b8a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"237b8a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Philoxenia is Not an Opportunity to Get Ahead<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-abfb0d9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"abfb0d9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c2c3a90\" data-id=\"c2c3a90\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ded20f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ded20f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sadly as Christianity grew and became increasingly institutionalized, brotherly care and concern for strangers became a social exercise for entertaining the wealthy.
