“…not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.”
(Hebrews 10:25)
Habits are matters of consistency and upkeep. Most things worth having require maintenance, so they will not fall into disrepair. Our Christian faith is no different. We must take careful care and attention to build habits whuch will mend the worn parts of our faith, strengthen and bolster new growth, and retain existing loyalty to our Lord. There are many means by which we can maintain our faith, but the habit of regular attendance with others of shared faith is one of the easiest.
The Hebrew writer cautions us about forsaking what we know our faith requires… especially when others’ faith will also be harmed. We must maintain what we have, and in an era where there are so many options for you and your family’s time, please be careful to guard your heart against the excuses to not assemble. There is no substitute for the physical proximity and face-to-face exhortation of God’s people.
