Importance of Fellowship
BQ: Is fellowship important? This deserves MUCH more, so it'll DEFINITELY be a subject of a note in the future! Thanks Shannon Ashley Musick! This is awesome.
A: Heb 10:25 “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.” Prov 27:17 “Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another.”
For you to look up: Eccles 4:9-12, Eph 4:11-16, Mt 18:20, 1 Cor 10:16-17, Eph 5:19-21, 1 Cor 12:14, Gal 3:28
Attendance problems are often a sign of a deeper problem—a problem where Satan's playplace is more appealing than being held up out of it by our brothers and sisters in Christ. It's usually the first sign that we're moving back into the world.
My brother Jerod Schaefer said, "If you think you can do the things you used to do and get away with it...you are SO wrong. And you are gambling your soul, and if you have kids, you're gambling theirs, too." If we let the world be our home, we lose the kingdom. Fellowship is critical. Absolutely critical.
(PN7)
"For the entire Law is fulfilled in in this one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."—Gal 5:14

All in!
BQ: We know that we're to be good examples, yet sometimes we just don't want to really pull through and submit. We want to have our salvation and cling to our transgressions, pretending that we're doin' the best we can, and maybe, if we ignore it and squint a little, it'll be OK.
Here's the question: Can we hang on to the ways of the world and make it?
There's a lot here, because it’s important, but consider the following verses:
James 1:8 & 4:4,
1 Pet 4:1-3,
Col 1:21-23,
Matthew 6:24,
Galatians 2:20 & 5:24
We must be all in or all out.
