Rosaria Butterfield has a challenging question.

What do your neighbors really know about you?

Do they know that you pray for them?

Yeah.

Do they know that you're a member of a church and that that really means something?

Do they know that your relationship to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Word of God is vital and life-giving and daily and fluent and

present, and it just folds into all of the things that you care about, and it flows out of

all of your concerns. Do they know that you have immediate access to the God who made you?

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Thursday, February 11, 2016.

We're continuing today in what has been an amazing conversation with a new friend of mine,

and I hope a new friend of yours, as a Reviver Hearts listener, Rosaria Butterfield.

And Rosaria, when I think of where you came from as an English professor focusing on queer studies and as a lesbian

activist who disdained the Word of God but had never read it to today being a pastor's wife,

a homeschool mom who loves God's word and knows it and sings it and memorizes it and meditates on it

and lives by it I love you I love God I love his grace and I'm we're talking about this

hospitality thing and what a powerful means of grace yes it has been in your life yes Yes, absolutely. It has been in mine and a means of

gospel witness, a means of refuge. I'm thinking about, as we've been talking, and I'm just

picking up where we left off yesterday. So if you missed yesterday's program, go and the ones that

preceded it with Rosaria, go to revive our hearts.com.

I want to encourage you to do that and listen to those.

But picking up here on this subject of hospitality, 1 Peter chapter 4, beginning at verse 7,

the end of all things is at hand.
