"Let us consider how to
stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as
is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see
the Day drawing near." (Hebrews 10:24-25 RSV)
In community we catch the
contagious quality of faith and hope.
Gathering stokes the flames of each member of the group. We encourage one another. (Encourage
literally means to put courage into,
to give heart!) We become more in
Christ because of the influence of friends.
We talk one another into things.
We take bolder action that we might otherwise avoid. We follow Christ more eagerly.
