Christian hospitality does not require you to be an award-winning chef or to own the most beautiful house on the block; it is, first and foremost, opening up your heart to another and welcoming them (in whatever way that looks like) as you would welcome Christ himself. But let me warn you, you will be changed in the process. We live in echo chambers; we surround ourselves with voices that repeat what we already think; we are attached to screens and have become only dumber and more cynical.

As citizens of God’s new creation, how we live matters; morals matter even in this old world. Ethical living may not save us, but it attests to the faith that lives in us. It is the natural expression (and fruit) of a faithful life. As Christians, we are not powerless to Sin. We cannot conquer it alone, but we dare not forget that we have been given salvation from it. We are not in this fight by ourselves, and we are not left defenseless. You and I are called into deeper life with God.

The Trinity is not an equation to be figured out, to be mastered by us. Instead, it may be best to say that the Holy Trinity is infinitely knowable. We are never going to come to the end of this journey. We will never grasp who God is in totality. God is not a mystery that is unknown, but a mystery that is infinitely knowable.
