The Rooms of Discipleship (7) The Parlor

A parlor, in times past, was a room used primarily for conversation or the reception of guests. It was there that much important information was relayed and where much significant discussion took place. I want you to give me your attention now as I ask you three questions related to your initiating and having holy conversation with other Christians. I am speaking now, of that conversation that believers are to engage in with other believers as a part of their becoming more Christ-like. 1st of all - I would like to ask you if you are learning to discourse with God’s dear people unto their edification? 2nd - Whether you know what the subject matter of your conversations should be in this room? And 3rd – I want to ask you whether you know what kinds of holy entertainment there are, that you might lead others into, while they are under your roof; activities which would be conducive to their godliness? Answering these 3 questions will form an important part of your making progress in being Christ’s disciple.
