20. Love Hospitality means “love to strangers” - φιλοξενία (Luke 14:12-14) Every Christian is commanded to be hospitable (Rom. 12:9,13, Heb. 13:1-2) Where can we find these opportunities? (James 2:1-5)

21. “There are broken people at our jobs, in our schools, in our communities. We interact with them every day. We pass by souls struggling with sin, who are pained by guilt, who are craving love and attention, who are crying out for someone to help. What are we doing? Are they seeing the compassion of Jesus in us? Or are they only seeing judgment or callous indifference (James 2:1-17)?” --David Maxson

22. In Closing There’s no easy way to win the lost It cost Jesus everything Why should we think it would cost us nothing? Successful evangelism requires fervent prayer, godly living, and self-sacrificing love for the souls of others.
