"Chapter Six: “Judas in the Church: The Borderland of Hospitality” | “Make no mistake: it is a million times safer to include unbelieving neighbors and people who have not claimed the blood of Jesus or citizenship of the church [in hospitality] than to let a potential Judas run loose in the church. Atheists do far less harm than hypocrites.”" Jan 28, 2026 08:51PM

“Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.”
Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

“Don't Just

Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just change, transform.
Don't just relate, advocate.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just criticize, encourage.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don't just see, feel.
Don’t just dream, do.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just tell, show.
Don't just exist, live.”
