“Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.”

All,
This sticks out because at first it seems to not be hospitable to non-Christians. However, I read another commentary and it concerns people who are promoting ideas that are not Biblical. We’ve seen our society grow away from seeing God as the authority and it seems that this verse is stating to not give these people credibility by having them in our house or be yoked with them. This doesn’t mean we are not to associate with them, just not to be yoked. Please pray that we and our friends live a balance of truth and love. Please pray for the guys that are considering being a co-facilitator.
