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).

A peaceful state of mind

Feb 15, 2025


‘And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,’ Colossians 3:15 NKJV


God wants you to have a peaceful state of mind. His word says: ‘And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.’ (Colossians 3:15 NKJV). No position or possession is worthwhile if you don’t have peace; money, status, popularity—it’s all meaningless if you lack peace. You simply cannot put a price on the value of peace. Many of us spend our lives trying to climb the ladder of success, but every time we go up one more rung, we lose more of our peace and joy, not to mention time spent with our family. Our lives are consumed with the pressure and stress of trying to hold on to what we gained. But we are never truly successful unless we have peace.


Some of us work several jobs to acquire what the world dangles in front of us, saying, ‘You must have this to be truly happy.’ We get those ‘things’, but we still don’t have any peace. Romans 14:17 tells us, ‘For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost’ (KJV). The things that money can buy or the security you seek in status will not bring you peace. God wants you to have your needs met abundantly and to be in a position to bless others. But don’t seek to have anything if it will compromise your peace of mind.
