Scripture ... Heb 10:23-25 "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; (24) and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, (25) not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. Russ, let me give you some thoughts. When I read your post, this passage came to mind. We do need to gather together. There are many around the world who yearn to meet with another believer and they do it at great risk or are unable. When I was in the Army ... I had to go to the field. There was no opporunity to meet with a brother, even on Sunday. I wanted to ... so I could share my thoughts, to be encouraged, to pray and more. When I got back to the main base, I sought a Christian brother and went to church at the first chance. Paul prayer (Eph 3:14-21) coms to mind as well as the passge that follows (Eph 4:1-16). In closing remember "Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" (Pro 27:17). Searcher |

Thank You for reminding me of the prayer of Paul in Eph. I started out reading your answer and was thinking..."I knew someone would use that passage on me". But as I read on, I was humbled by your thoughts, and realized pride was creaping in. You talk of the many around the world who long to be with other believers, and the risks they take. I can only feel selfish when my church is but 3 miles down the road,and all I have to do is get in one of my 3 cars and go. I have so many bibles and, commentaries and, books full of sermons. "Not to mention bible software" It's amazing how I've taken all this for granted. Thank You again, and may God bless. Russ | ||||||
