Yes, we’re to do all three! As Paul says, they’re
part of having sincere love serving the Lord and sharing with His people.
Romans
12:9-13 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is
good. 10 Be
devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual
fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful
in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share
with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
I certainly don’t do all of this all of the time. I
can’t even say I hate, honor and show hospitality each week, but I did this
past week. I hated a lie I overheard, we honored my Dad for his 65th
birthday, and we hosted people in our home three different times. James even
asked to have another family over for dinner on Tuesday, but I was fixing a new
vegan recipe and wasn’t sure how it would taste or if it would be ready in time.
When
have you and I not hated what was evil, including our own sin?
Who
will you and I honor, faithfully pray for or show hospitality to this week in
service to the Lord?
Paul
sets out some high expectations.
Which
one jumps out at you to focus on this week?
