“No strangers enter here, only friends we have not met.” You will sometimes see this hospitable invitation by the front door of a home, an expression of open-hearted souls who live within. (It should also be at the entrance of every church, along with the scriptural parallel: “Be not neglectful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”) Our church, First Baptist Church off Green Street in Gainesville, is filled with people who were once strangers. They were people unknown to us, who have turned out to be not only friends to me, but angels sent to me.
