Short Video by Christian Counselor, Steve Rossi on Open Your Hearts and Houses. Give to the Brethren. A Biblical perspective. Encouraging the Christian Community.

distributing to the needs of the saints, (Rom 12:13)

Who are the saints? What are their needs? Your brothers and sisters in Christ are the saints. We are the family of God, my friend. Needs vary. Food, clothing, shelter, and living supplies are needed. There are plenty of Christians in need today. Ask your pastor and look around for people in need. Meet their needs the best you can. Give. Time and money. Whatever gifts, talents and skills you have, give it to them. God will richly reward you for doing so. Give hilariously, cheerfully. Give with God's love. This is behaving like a Christian. It should be effortless, because we know this warms God's heart. He delights in seeing us do His will. He blesses you as you bless others. You can't give enough. We can never out give God. Maybe you were a needy saint some time ago and the church gave generously to you. Anonymous charitable gifts of love at the right time increase the recipients' faith.

The Acts church distributed heavily to the saints. The put the love of Christ in action. They delivered food and supplies to their people. No one went without. We have fallen short as a body of Believers in doing this today. We need to do this with more fervor and frequency. We should also try to meet the needs of unbelievers too. Jesus fed the multitudes two times. (Matt. 14:13-21; Mark 8:1-9). He did it with compassion. (Mark 8:2) Do you have compassion for the hungry today, the hungry for food and the hungry for God? Feed them. Give them the Living Christ in you, the Word, the Love, the Hope, the Eternal essence of Life! Feed them.

Open your wallet, your hands, your house to the saints today. Do it with the utmost compassion and hospitality. You may unknowingly be entertaining angels (Heb. 12:2). Be generous for the Lord, open your house. You never know that the Lord has planned for some soul visiting you. They may get saved, delivered from demonic torment, healed of disease, or be fired up to serve the Lord because of your hospitality. God wants to use you to bless His people and draw the lost to Him through you. Let Him. Purpose today to distribute to the needs of the saints. Be hospitable to them. The King of Kings will multiple your generosity now and forevermore. Do it with joy today. Heavenly Father, use us today to minister to fellow saints and a dying world. We rejoice in serving you by serving others. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.

given to hospitality. (Rom 12:13)
