Pondering: The importance of connecting with a body of believers on a REGULAR basis is also included in the Book! It amazes me how easily people excuse the need for church...and usually its the churchs fault or the preachers fault...but rarely is it an acknowledgement that you just really dont care about gathering with other believers. Church is just not as important as your job, or your game, or your party, or your excuse. Church is not necessary because no one there knows more than you! Well, there is something that happens when believers gather. It is bigger than you. It cant be replicated just by you and its necessary for the strengthening of the entire body, because guess what...its not all about you!!!! Hebrews 10:15 And the Holy Spirit also gives us his witness. First he says, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them in the days to come, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts and write them on their minds.” 17 And then he says, “I will not remember their sins and evil deeds any longer.” 18 So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed. Let Us Come Near to God 19 We have, then, my friends, complete freedom to go into the Most Holy Place by means of the death of Jesus. 20 He opened for us a new way, a living way, through the curtain—that is, through his own body. 21 We have a great priest in charge of the house of God. 22 So let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, with hearts that have been purified from a guilty conscience and with bodies washed with clean water. 23 Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise. 24 Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good. 25 Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, let us encourage one another all the more, since you see that the Day of the Lord is coming nearer.
