House To House

How Christians DID NOT Use Their Houses Not For Gossip –(1 Timothy 5:13) At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention. Not For Helping False Teachers –(2 John 1:10) If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;
