Fellowship

I saw a friend from school today. We graduated together, and we have a great deal in common when it comes to previous experiences and ministry calling. He is one of those people who I could talk to forever because we like to talk about the same things. He is also one of those people who is never afraid to turn the conversation to spiritual things and to share deep heart matters. I miss conversations like that. I miss the kind of fellowship that causes me to really evaluate my life and how I am to use it for the glory of God.

It’s not that I don’t have the kind of friends who engage in fellowship times like that, but I think I have isolated myself from the intimacy of true Christian fellowship. I am learning what Paul meant when he wrote, “And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching (Hebrews 10:24-25)”.

Worthwhile

When I think of God's amazing sacrifice, of the promise that He has given us, of the hope we have of future glory, it is such a small, small thing that I should serve Him during this short life on earth. It is such a small thing, and yet no other occupation is more important or nearly as worthwhile.
