Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, has been the home and heart of Jews for centuries. But a strange article on Israel365 News, entitled, Why Giving Away Jerusalem Could Be Israel’s Biggest Mistake, suggests Israel is being pressured to allow Muslims to own and control Jerusalem.

The Gospel includes Hospitality?

The early Christian church was renown for its hospitality. In fact, the Apostle Peter said their was a ‘gift of hospitality (1 Peter 4:9-10). It may be time to revive this gift writes Lindsey Medenwaldt:

“Rosaria Butterfield recently wrote a book titled The Gospel Comes with a House Key, in which she chronicles how hospitality shifted her worldview. She was an outspoken lesbian when Ken and Floy Smith, a pastor and his wife, invited her over for dinner. She had plans to learn from them, but not in a Christian sense. Rosaria initially thought of her visits to their home as an opportunity to gain inside information about Christians — she called it “the cult house” to her friends. …. Eventually, however, Ken and Floy’s sincere kindness chipped away at the barriers Rosaria had set up against them.”

It’s for equipping and building up the body of Christ.”
