3 John

This chapter almost seems a response to Sue's post as well!  Some church seems to be closing its doors and John wants them open for his evangelists. In other words, keep the doors open to those you feel are coming with good and honest intentions.  Those who are tired, give them rest and those who just have a bunch of questions about God, well, be Lutheran and give them more questions to ponder.

As Kelly and Mark have noted, though, there is also the temptation to let others "into your house" who you know do not have your interest or God's interest at heart.  Those people, you need to push back out.  If God has intentions to change them, God may work through you to do so, but that healthy physical and emotional boundary must be in place!
