Acts 28:30-31 ” For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Paul was under house arrest in Rome awaiting trial. There he could entertain his friends and minister to anyone that visited…including the Roman guards assigned there. He received all with gracious hospitality and boldly proclaimed the Good News of the Gospel to anyone that would listen. In his letter to Timothy, Paul, observed that, though he himself was in chains, the Word of God wasn’t bound. (II Timothy 2:9) But so many times, as we get older with physical limitations, we think God is done using us. But instead, we need to pray that the Lord will bring people across our path that we can share Jesus with. And you’ll be surprised as to who will darken your door…for just as Paul’s home became a place of peace and spiritual growth for anyone who visited, your home can also become a place where God’s work can continue.
