Wherever two or more are gathered in His name…
My sister sent me this photo a few weeks ago. What a photo!
I’ve written before about the church, how WE are the church, not the building or the staff. (What is a church?) And most of us are familiar with Matthew 18:20: “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.”
We all know that God is with us always. He never leaves us, never forsakes us. But even though He is with us even when we are alone, Matthew 18 reminds us that we are to worship together, join with others in Christ. A Christian alone is a Christian in danger. We must guard our faith, and one of the keys to arming ourselves in the world is to remain in fellowship with others. A Christian is called to prayer, to worship, to Bible study, to fellowship.
When I look at this picture, I see a little girl who wanted to share prayer time with her “friends.” She is worshiping in prayer… fellowshipping… maybe even holding her dolls “accountable.”
Yeah, I guess I am reading a lot into a picture, but what a picture!
Have a worship-filled, God-filled day!

Thank you so much Linda for your encouraging and sweet email.My friends accross the blogsphere have really blessed me so much.
I thank God for each one of you dear Saints.
There was a time when i was going to some Christian activity everyday and had lots of people visit us and have food with us everyday. But times have changed.I have to be content in whatever circumstance I am…in plenty and in need, as the Word says.
And I thank God I am in a much better position than many of my brethren.
Thank you my dear sister in Christ.Your prayers have helped me.
