To Be Least

²³Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. ²⁴And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. ²⁵Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrew 10)

      I don't have a lot of time now, but these verses really shows the importance of Christian's meeting together. This old idea of meeting together is obviously important. It is a time of encouraging each other and spur one another on towards love and good deeds.
      Another thought that has been floating around in my small head is this. In American culture (and most likely others as well) the pastor is the man who studies and gives his sermon on what he learned or already knew. There seems to be a huge reliance on this one man to supply most of the information about their faith that many of the congregation will ever learn. If the pastor should make a mistake, would his "church" be able to discern if it was true or not? How can the body of Christ discern between false teachers and ones who teach the truth. It is impossible if they don't ever pick up the Bible and learn it for themselves.

Anyhow, I will have a more complete post tomarrow. Until then, good night and God bless.
