True love, Agape type love, that which is described in 1 Cor 13 is the type of love we're commanded to strive for, to grow toward and mature in. Part of this true love is the DEMAND (not option) to assemble together as a family and encourage one another AND rejuvinate ourselves so that we don't think too highly of ourselves but instead get what we need from God and His family on earth set here for that purpose. Some of us need humbling whereas some others need to be built up and encouraged. Some of us have weaknesses with which we should share and deal with them, opening our hearts and repent for the sins in our life. Others of us must assemble with family members, sharing the strengths we've gained with God's help so that others may benefit. In some cases, some might share weaknesses (from one area of his life) one day and then a week later, share a strength (from another area of his life). So you see we MUST see ourselves as being compelled to be there or this function breaks down and the whole system is rendered powerless at least for those that are a "no show." If everyone were to take such a non-chalant attitude about the assembly, then eventually the church would disentagrate, at least for that particular congregation. Naturally, this means the stronger, more mature christian with a little more heritage in the Lord should be expected to be a leader in this devotion to the cohesiveness of the congregation. They should realize the debt they owe to God and be all the more anxious and willing to return the favor by spreading the enthusiasm and encourage growth among the younger and less mature christians. No, my dear friend I'm afraid I can't allow your post with this kind of disregard for God's ultimate authority go unchallenged. We as God's children MUST NOT consider the regular assembling of ourselves in worship as an option. I do hope you'll continue praying and studying on this subject. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
