Hospitality

My college roommate, Randi, said she would think of her registry now as a means to practice the joy of hospitality. I love this. And the beautiful thing about it is that it’s different for each of us, but it gives a goal and a vision for the ministry of marriage. If your desire is to serve the body of Christ and to serve your neighbors, coworkers, and friends—how can you best do that?

In a sermon on Romans 12:9–13, John Piper describes the purpose of hospitality in the Christian’s life and the joy of the hospitality we have been shown by God:

Freely you have received. Freely give. Is there any greater joy than the joy of experiencing the liberating power of God’s hospitality making us a new and radically different kind of people, who love to reflect the glory of his grace as we extend it to others in all kinds of hospitality? . . . Don’t ever underestimate the power of your living room as a launching pad for new life and hope and ministry and mission!2

Possessions are just that—things we possess. So what can you possess that will aid you in making your home a welcome haven, a “pleasant inn,” for visitors and a special place for you as a family?
