“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
— Hebrews 10:25 (KJV)

In today’s fast-paced and increasingly digital world, it has become all too easy for Christians to withdraw from one another. Church attendance is down in many places. Spiritual isolation is on the rise. And for some, the idea of “doing church” online or on their own has replaced the biblical model of corporate worship and face-to-face fellowship.

But Hebrews 10:25 reminds us of a divine imperative: Don’t forsake gathering together. Why? Because we need one another. We were not created to walk this journey of faith alone.

The author of Hebrews connects this call to fellowship with a sense of urgency—"as you see the Day approaching." That “Day” is the return of Christ. In a time of spiritual decline, cultural confusion, and increasing deception, we need each other more, not less.

🛐 Church Is More Than a Building

Attending a Bible-believing, Bible-preaching, Holy Spirit-filled church isn’t just a spiritual obligation—it’s a source of strength, joy, and spiritual sharpening. Proverbs 27:17 says:

“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”

In the fellowship of the saints, you’ll find encouragement in your trials, accountability in your struggles, and inspiration for your calling. The right church family doesn’t weigh you down—it lifts you up.

✝️ Why Fellowship Matters

Here are just a few reasons why gathering together with other believers is essential:

  • Encouragement in tough times: Sometimes the Word you need won’t come from a podcast, but from a hug, a prayer, or a conversation with a fellow believer.

  • Accountability and growth: Fellowship helps us stay sharp in our convictions, habits, and character.

  • Spiritual covering and guidance: A Bible-preaching church offers the oversight and instruction we need to stay grounded in truth.

  • Unity of purpose: Together, we pray, serve, and share the Gospel more effectively than we ever could alone.

  • Witness to the world: A unified, loving body of believers is one of the most powerful testimonies of the Gospel.

🙌 Stay With the Body

If you are currently attending a church that teaches the truth, honors the Word of God, and flows with the Spirit of God—stay with them. You’re in a blessed place. And if you’re still searching, don’t give up. Ask God to lead you to a community that will challenge and grow your faith.

Remember, the enemy loves to isolate—because isolation weakens. But God calls us to assemble—because fellowship strengthens.

👥 Final Thoughts

Don’t let discouragement, distraction, or disappointment pull you away from God’s people. Yes, no church is perfect. But the Bride of Christ is still His plan for the earth.

Keep assembling. Keep exhorting. Keep growing—especially as you see the Day approaching.

  🕊️ Why Should You — or Shouldn’t You — Attend Church? I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by the rhythms of church life. From Sunday School and Vacation Bible School to revival meetings, baptisms, and Bible studies — I’ve seen the full spectrum of what it means to “go to church.” Church has been a regular part of my routine, my upbringing, and my community for as long as I can remember. But here’s the truth: It wasn’t until I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ at the age of 14 that I truly understood the biblical reason for going to church. 🙋‍♂️ So Why Do We Go to Church? Some people go because they’re trying to check the box. Others go because they feel guilty if they don’t. Some just need a little spiritual boost to get through the week. But none of those are the right reasons. Yes, Hebrews 10:25 reminds us: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the...

We Cannot Face Satan On Our Own Terms — Only Through the Cross As Believers, we must never make the mistake of thinking we can confront Satan in our own strength, even by imitating how Jesus faced him during His earthly ministry. Jesus met the enemy as the sinless Son of God—perfect in obedience, unmatched in holiness, and without the corruption of sin that taints our human nature. We are foolish to believe we can meet Satan on the same terms. We are not Christ—we are His followers. And our power does not come from ourselves, but from what He has already accomplished on our behalf. The only way of true escape from the enemy’s grip is not self-effort, religious works, or spiritual bravado. It is to look exclusively to the finished work of Jesus at the Cross —where the battle was decisively won, and where the enemy was eternally defeated. At the Cross, Christ became our Substitute . Through His perfect life and His willing, sacrificial death, He conquered the powers of darkness on all c...

  ✝️ Christianity: Not Just Something You Do—It’s Who You Are There’s a dangerous misconception floating around today—that Christianity is a part-time hobby, a weekend ritual, or a list of dos and don'ts. But let me tell you from experience: Christianity is not something you do. It’s who you are. Or more accurately, it’s who you’re supposed to be. This month marks 53 years since I gave my life to Christ . I wasn’t looking for Him, but He was looking for me. And He used the most powerful vessel He could find— a praying great-grandmother , 63 years my senior, who refused to let hell have me. I didn’t understand God. I had no clue about heaven, hell, or the weight of eternity. But she knew . She saw past what I was into and spoke into who I was called to be. I’ll never forget the day she cornered me and said, point blank: “Boy, you are not going to hell! You will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a prophetic declaration fueled by relentless ...
