Chad Mullinix continues to share how his church does evangelism. Explore the good news of hospitality. Benjamin L. Corey states that, "People leave the church when they can't find community." He also states that, "People leave the church because they get turned off by social climbing, cliques, and nepotism" and "People leave church because they feel lonely." A Barna study found people responded that, "The church feels unfriendly to those who doubt." Lifeway Research reported that people thought the church is unloving. A Twitter poll reported that the church is full of unfriendly church members. For Karen Mains, "Evangelism without a functioning household of God will result in a high mortality rate." What is hospitality? The term philoxenia (φιλοξενία) means “a love for strangers.” We read in Hebrews 13:2, “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” The good news of hospitality is receiving condescending love. Explore the Westminster Confession of Faith 7.1. Genesis 1:28-29 tells us, “And God blessed them... And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food." We read also in Genesis 2:10 , “A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers.” Consider God’s gracious love. Consider the Westminster Confession of Faith 7.3. Consider Israel in bondage in Egypt as an example. In Romans 5:8,10 we read, “...but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us... For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son…” Consider that we also need to demonstrate hospitality. Explore Ephesians 5:1-2, 1 John 4:19 , and Romans 15:7. Mains states, "Why are our efforts at evangelism often abortive? Because the church has lost the awareness that it is a household of God into which we are to invite the weary and downtrodden in spirit as well as in body." Reflect on 1 John 3:16-18. We also need to support those going out with the good news. Matthew 10:9-11 tells us, “Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart.” Consider that part of the way whether a person receives the gospel or not is whether they receive you. Explore 3 John 2-5,8.
