In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. 1 Corinthians 11:17
When those who follow Jesus meet together it should always be a time of worship, because we gather in his name. So, if when we meet our thoughts are full of things that are unworthy of Christ, and when our actions go against the teaching of scripture how can we bring honour and glory to God? When such thoughts and actions are at the expense of someone else we are harming the fellowship. Let us pray that when we gather it would be centred only on Jesus and his teachings.
I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
