Hebrews 10:25 NLT - 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
Hebrews 10:25 KJV - 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
You know this is really not received by most people that proclaim to be a Christian in these days we live in now. You pick your translation, but I encourage you to read the remainder of this chapter in Hebrews. It will truly draw your breathe out, as it should. Do you have to go to church or attend a weekly or monthly bible study or be part of a men's group or a woman's group to go to Heaven? Absolutely not! We are capable without the assist of other Saints and fellow believers by the righteousness of Christ in us. But, a BIG BUT, I need you in my life. I need the relationships I have with fellow Saints. I need my bible study groups. I need my men from my men's group. I need my pastors and their families and the other leaders within my church to help me. I need the fellow Saints I fill my life with to help me. Help me what you say? Hold me Accountable. Stay sane. Lift me up. Give me comfort. Give encouragement. And on and on!
No we don't have to have church but it is so important to have a Saint covering if you will, in your life to hold you accountable and to help build you up and encourage you and to correct you when you are off course. Please don't let offence come in here and Father forgive me for being too direct but I think we need a whole lot more directness in our lives these days. Too many are too soft. I love each and every one of you and so many more. I promise, All I ever say is in 100% pure love. You are my Rock, you are my family. I wanna say this. If you don't have a Saint covering as an umbrella or even as a trampoline, YOU will fail! Jesus is the only way and He works through the church not a bunch of individual pieces. WE NEED ONE ANOTHER! Look to the Word. Just read the last of this Chapter in Hebrews and let Holy Spirit lead you.
Dear Heavenly Father we love you. We love serving you in all areas of our lives. Father show us your love in one another. Show us how to love without offense as you do every day with each of us Father. We may be strong with Jesus as our righteousness and we wanna be even stronger with the joining of ourselves with fellow Saints. Help us to see others as a Rock as Peter was for Jesus. Show us how to Love as you Father. Show us how to take no offense as Joseph or David. Father we lift our hands and give you all the praise and glory. We ask all this in the Heavenly beautiful amazing gracious loving precious humble name above all names Christ Jesus, Amen!
