LET US NOT NEGLECT OUR MEETING TOGETHER!

HEBREWS 10: 25

"LET US NOT NEGLECT OUR MEETING TOGETHER, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of Jesus return is drawing near."

Some people never go to church.  Some people go to church on Easter and Christmas day.  Some people believe that even if they are Christians that they do not have to go to church or gather together as believers.  What do you believe?  The One Truth Today is clear, we should not neglect our meeting together, especially now that the day of the return of Jesus Christ is drawing near.  It is not good to be a closet or secret Christian.  Jesus died for us publicly and He requires that we acknowledge Him publicly.  We must profess our love for Him.  There have been circumstances when you life or security may be at stake to profess your Christianity and even under those circumstances we need to meet together with other believers.  Until His return we need to assemble and worship God.

We are not to forsake one another or neglect the gathering together of the believers.  If you avoid church no excuse will excuse His admonition.  There is great peace to be found with other believers and a joy of worship that can lift any ones spirit.  They hold us accountable to the Word of God and the Law of the Lord.  Singing alone is never as uplifting as joining in a choir of like minded Christians.  No man is an island unto himself and you are no exception.  There is safety and security in being a part of a body of believers.  LET US NOT NEGLECT MEETING TOGETHER!

The outside world is becoming more evil and dangerous every day but the sanctuary of the church is impenetrable.  God's house is a Rock to take a stand on.  Good decisions require good counselors and they are found in a good church.  If you draw away into seclusion you will find it a lonely and depressing place.  Instead maintain the joy of your first love and meet with those who have the same love, Jesus Christ the Lord God.  The Lord is returning soon and all the more reason to be with like minded Christian brothers and sisters.  Lets get together!
