LETS GET TOGETHER!

HEBREWS 10: 25

"Let us not neglect our meeting together, as some Christians do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of Jesus return is drawing near."

Some Christians do not believe that they need to go to Church or gather together with other believer's.  The One Truth Today points out what God thinks about the subject.  The real issue is whether it is possible to be a "secret Christian".  Jesus Christ gave His life for us publicly and He suffered the shame and humiliation of the death on the cross for us.  This act of love was done with full knowledge of the consequences.  If we are to emulate and be like the Lord then we too have a responsibility to be public about our faith and belief in God.  Yes there are circumstances when life and security are at stake and that must be taken into consideration, but never the less, we must not neglect our meeting together and encouraging one another.  
The day of the return of Jesus Christ is drawing nigh, LETS GET TOGETHER!

We are advised not to forsake one another or neglect the gathering together of the believer's.
Some Christians avoid Church.  They have many excuses and can tell many stories of why they no longer get together with other believer's.  They may not want to be admonished or warned by their peers.  They may not want to encourage others for a variety of reasons.  The problem is that they believe that they are smarter than the Word of God.  There is great peace to be found when you are surrounded by like thinkers and believer's who can reinforce the Word of God. Singing alone may be OK but singing with the Church is more inspiring.   No man is an island and God did not want us to neglect meeting together with the Church. LETS GET TOGETHER!

The world is becoming more evil and dangerous with every passing year.  The only place that you can truly find peace is in the Lord and in His Church, a strong tower to run into.  To make good decisions requires many counselors and where is the best place to find the right answers but with true believer's of the Lord's Word.  If you draw into seclusion, for whatever reason, you are not listening to the Truth of the Lord.  Self sufficiency can be a lonely place of seclusion.
To find the greatest joy, love and peace in this world listen to the wisdom in this scripture. LETS GET TOGETHER!
