Importance of fellowship

 The Word for Today.     The importance of fellowship Mar 2, 2025 ‘All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship,’ Acts 2:42 NLT Euclid was a Greek mathematician who lived about three hundred years after Christ. He is best known for his thirteen-volume series of books called Elements. Two of his axioms of geometry have been revised to produce the modern saying: ‘The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.’ Another way of saying this would be ‘something happens in a group that doesn’t happen alone’. That ‘something’ is called ‘synergy’. It comes from the Greek word sunergia, meaning cooperation and working together. The New Testament church practised it: ‘All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer’ (Acts 2:42 NLT). Jesus described spiritual synergy in these words: ‘“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth con...

God can keep you together

Feb 17, 2025


‘Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.’ Matthew 19:6 NKJV


This may come as a surprise to you, but the main purpose of marriage is not to produce children. Couples who cannot give birth are as married as couples who can. Jesus said, ‘… “For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh”’ (Matthew 19:5 NKJV). When God looks at a parent and child, He sees two. When God looks at a brother and sister, He sees two. But when God looks at a husband and wife, He sees one. ‘Joined together’ means ‘to be glued to’. Do you ever feel like you’re stuck with the person you married? Well, you are! Marrying and becoming one flesh is not what two people do for each other, but what God does for them.


Marriage is not a relationship joined together by culture, or the law, or sex, or even love. Marriage is what God joins together. And the good news is, when God joins you together, He can keep you together. (However, if you feel unsafe in your relationship, it is important to get help, and get away if you’re at risk.) Today the most popular reason for issuing a divorce decree is ‘irreconcilable differences’. But Jesus went to the heart of the matter—which is the matter of the heart. ‘He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so”’ (Matthew 19:8 NKJV). God can soften your hearts towards one another, and He can open your hearts towards one another. You say, ‘But I’ve tried everything, and nothing works.’ Try God! He can change the heart of your spouse and give you a new future together.
