'Thomas' Reasonable Question.'
John 14:5.
a) Thomas said to Him,
b) "Lord, we do not know where You are going.
c) "How can we know the way?"
(This QT shows me Thomas' Reasonable Question)
PRAY: Without fear, asking reasonable questions to the Lord.

'A Guest Environment.'
a) Mark 14:14; Luke 22:11. Guests need to have a guest room.
b) Luke 19:7. Jesus went to be a guest, sometimes we may do the same.
c) Philemon 1:22. Guest rooms need to be prepared well.
(Through this Second one I realize that Jesus fully understands the 'guest environment')
PRAY: That our Churches will be able to prepare A Guest Environment well when they need to.

From the early days of the Old Testament until now a welcoming environment for guests has been a Biblical principle. If guests are not welcomed well it is really a negative mark, a reputation stain, on that particular Church. The healthy Church will have some kind of ministry functioning to welcome both guests and strangers.
