Today's Passage - Hebrews 10:24-25

Hebrews 10:24-25
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
As Christians we must be watchful of each other, because we come to the Most Holy Place together in a relationship of love. When we receive God's love, it is poured into our lives and it fills us up, but not just for our own sake, because love needs to flow out from us. Also, when we enter the Most Holy Place, you will be praising and worshipping God along with thousands of other saints. Therefore, when we are with the saints, we must be watchful of one another, because Jesus has already opened a new and living way, which is the way of life, and this way is filled with sacrificial love. As a Christian, we must "spur one another on toward love and good deeds." Love doesn't appear naturally, but it needs to be spurred. Good deeds also happen through encouragement. We must gather often, spur each other to have more love and do more good deeds. When you come to Sunday service or cell group meeting, just ask God to remind us to courage one another with "love God more!" or "follow God more closely!"
Let's not talk too much about secular affairs in the church, since we already talk too much about those things. When we gather in the Lord, we ask God to help us to courage each other and be watchful of each other in order to make progress in the Lord together. Not only can the gatherings of the saints enable us to help each other, we can also encourage each other and support those who might be backsliding or cooled down in the spirit. When love is flowing among us, we can help those who are in hardship or despair so that they might be uplifted. True love come from the love of God in the Most Holy Place; when we gather together, the Lord is among us, so we will receive the love that fills the Most Holy Place that enables us to follow God in our daily life. Are you feeling the love of God in the gatherings? May the Spirit of God pour down the love of Christ in our midst so that we won't be gathering in vain. Let each one of our gatherings be filled with the joy of caring and encouraging one another.
Pray with Pastor Tong
Lord, I thank you because you've given us all kinds of grace. Not only have you given us joy for being in the Lord, you've also given us the joy of gathering with brothers and sisters. May the Lord touch our hearts; in all our gatherings help us to spur one another on toward love and good deeds so that we may live out the glorious testimony of Jesus through our daily lives. I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, amen!
