Our Scripture reading today is Hebrews 10:23-25.
Verse 25, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."
If there was ever a time in my 48 years of life that this verse should be put into practice by God's children, it is right NOW! We need to be assembling together as the family of God. We need to be participating in corporate worship every time the church doors or tents are open. Our gathering together is for the purpose of giving all the glory to God. In addition, we are told to exhort one another. It is very difficult and almost impossible to exhort someone from your living room on Sunday morning or Wednesday night. Your faithfulness to the services of Anchor Baptist Church show your love for God and your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
If you need an excuse for assembling together at church, the devil will make sure you have plenty. He has won many victories in the lives of God's people including mine. We cannot continue to give him even the smallest place in our lives. Rise up and be IN church tomorrow morning at 10. Not from your living room, but at 7768 Wedgewood Street in Burnaby. Bring a prepared heart and a shout of praise to our thrice holy God!
