We have two new guys living in our house: Andy and Daniel. And it has been great. There has been wonderful fellowship and we have had several get togethers with people around us. Last night I was thinking how important it is for good Christian fellowship. I enjoy many extra activities (mainly choir and volleyball) and these can sometimes get out of hand.
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." ~ 1 John 3:19
"Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world... ... Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us." ~ 1 Peter 2:11-13
Priorities are very necessary. I will never be of the world so I should never spend most of my time there. Is the fellowship of the world more fun? They know how to have a good time... How can I say this?! God glorifying fellowship should be my greatest desire and give me the most joy, everlasting joy. I can only find this among fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
This has become strongly evident in the blessing God has bestowed on our house. He has brought four brothers in Christ under one roof who are not afraid to speak of his Love, mercy, and holiness.
Praise the Lord!
I will extol the Lord with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly. Great are the words of the Lord they are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever.
~ Psalm 111: 1-3
