The Right Company

Hebrews 10:25

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.

It always astounds me how many people can miss church and they don’t seem to care. Many Christians are Sunday Morning Only Christians. I realise that there can be legitimate reasons why someone cannot attend a service but these are the exceptions.

Many of the excuses are:
It is a family day
My children or I are tired
Children must be in bed early as not to break their routine.
I need to get up early
The weather is too bad
Etc

Many other Christians do not attend a midweek meeting. They have always got something else to do. Thy do not put any weight on the need to attend the church services that are there for our encouragement and strengthening our Christian walk.

Christians go on holiday but never seem to find somewhere were they could worship on the Lords Day. I was blessed over the New Year to find a Church in Tomkins Square in New York. They were a welcoming church in word and action.

I at first wanted to go to see the activities in Times Square for the dropping of the ball on New Years Eve. As I thought about it I asked myself, “Would I as a Christian feel comfortable there?” My answer was no. Instead I attended church and saw the New Year in with Gods people. These were people who were delivered from drink, drugs and crime. They were a people who were set free from sin. What a wonderful night to fellowship with Gods People.

Many people make New Years resolutions to stop or start doing something. For many it to stop participating in some habit like smoking, drinking etc.

As we go into this New Year let us start a new habit. A habit of “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.”

Young person not all habits are wrong. This is a good one. Start right away and start attending all the meeting that are organised for you.
Fellowship with the “Right Company”!
