And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let 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.

Thought: Do you "go to church"? I hope not! Now don't get me wrong; I'm not advocating you skip worship and fellowship this Sunday! We're told not to forsake gathering together as believers. But when we assemble as a body of believers, we're gathering together for encouragement and meeting with God. We're not GOING to church; we ARE the church! God warned his people in Old Testament times that simply going to the places of worship was worthless. Instead, they needed to seek him! I believe that is exactly what God would have us do. And as we seek him together, we get to share fellowship, comfort, and encouragement with each other.

Additional thought: In Johnson's Notes they explain that in that day there were times of persecution. There was a great temptation to stay away from the church assemblies, and some had fallen into this dangerous neglect. And it is just that, a dangerous neglect. It gets easier and easier with each and every week that passes not to come. Please, do not put your soul, your salvation in that kind of jeopardy. We still live in a county that allows us to worship God openly. We have no plausible excuses. We have the opportunity to partake of the Lord's Supper, sing to, and worship our God openly together, not in secret. The fellowship we all share together on Sunday's is a valuable part of that worship.
