    We need the church community, and the church needs us. Therefore we need to meet regularly for fellowship, and participate actively in encouraging one another.

    This passage tells us 2 things: (1) we need the church; (2) the church needs us to play our part. You cannot live a good Christian life all by yourself. We need to be part of a community called the church. This is even more so, the Bible says, as "we see the Day approaching." We are drawing ...read more

The Living Bible puts it this way: “Whatever is in the heart overflows into speech”. Sometimes I ...read more
