Sitting Alone Together

The other day in the cafeteria of the hospital where I work, I saw a round table at which several employees were sitting together, but they were not together.  Every one of them was busily texting on their smart phones.

No one was talking to anyone else.  This seems to be a hallmark of our modern culture.  We are all talking but no one is listening.  This is happening even within the Church.

“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

“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Romans 12:5

“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;” Ephesians 2:19

The Fire of the Faith

“Christians, like coals of fire, cease to glow when they become separated from the group.”  Herschel H. Hobbs (1907-1995) 

Hobbs was the president of the Southern Baptist Convention (1962-1963) and was the chairman of the Baptist Faith and Message committee.

Christian Fellowship

Don't let yourself become disconnected from your Christian friends or from your church.

"Abide in me, and I in you.  As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me." John 15: 4.
