Fellowship is Important

It is in these uncertain and critical times

  that we, the followers of Christ, need to surround ourselves with like mind believers.

That we may help, uplift and encourage on another.

There is so much going on in the world around us that can be discouraging, which makes the need for fellowship that much more important.

Fellowship: (The Free Dictionary) 1.a. The companionship of individuals in a congenial atmosphere and on equal terms  b.Friendship; comradeship  c. A close association of friends or equals sharing similar interest.

Fellowship goes beyond just relationship; as relationships can be of so many types including good and bad, where as fellowship is a common interest shared among friends.

We must daily make a choice of keeping our eyes on the our Lord rather than on the troubles going on with and or around us.

For it is when our eyes go off of the Lord, that we loose proper perspective, and begin seeing our problems and adverse situations bigger than our God.

This is one reason why fellowship is of such importance. 

 Hebrews 10:25

 "and let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another especially now that the day of his return is drawing near." 

The enemy is doing his very best to keep us distracted by the cares of this world,

in hope that we will forget or never know of the promises of God.

How we can access the promises of God, or our even believing God's promises are true. 

Hosea 4:6 (NIV) "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children."

Let us not discount the value of fellowship.
