Our Bible Boost for today comes from the New Testament Book of Hebrews, chapter 10 and verse 25. “Not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.”
Have you ever grilled with those charcoal briquettes? You know, you piled all the briquettes in a huge heap. They are cold and dark until you put lighter fluid on them or use a charcoal starter to heat up the briquettes. Then after a period of time the briquettes begin to turn white hot. Then you take the briquettes and spread them around to spread out the heat. But you keep them close to each other so that they don’t lose their heat. Keeping those briquettes close together allows them to retain their heat because they are close to each other.
You know sometimes we are just like those briquettes. We drift away from attending church and fellowshipping with others and we become dark in our moods and cold in our relationships. So we need a little fire starter in our lives. Attending a Bible believing, Bible teaching and Bible preaching congregation will help light our spiritual fires. We may feel like we are all alone, bills piling up, nobody cares, trying to solve our problems all by ourselves and it just seems like we are swamped with the events of every day life. Well, friends, being with individuals at a Bible believing, Bible teaching and preaching congregation can help steady the load in our lives.
Do you know that there are 35 One Another’s Mentioned in the Bible. One Another’s like “love one another”, “pray for one another”, “bear one another’s burdens”, “and honor one another”. WOW! Can you believe it? 35 of those. We need each other. Not only do we need the Lord Jesus Christ, our Heavenly Father and His blessed Holy Spirit but we need each other.
Remember those briquettes I was talking about earlier. What happens when you move one of those white hot briquettes away from the others? YEP! You are right. The white hot briquette turns black and becomes cold. Same thing happens to us in our spiritual journey. When we stop hanging out with fellow believers we become cold and we lose our fire for the Lord. The Bible says in Proverbs 27:17, “as iron sharpens iron so does one man sharpen another.” We need each other to encourage one another, hold each other accountable and to support one another.
So, don’t forget our bible boost for today comes from the New Testament Book of Hebrews, chapter 10 and verse 25. “Not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.”
I am praying for you and your family.
