How is your family?

There are two priorities for our FAMILY (I’m talking about the church family).

First, we need to GATHER. It’s critical that we spend time together in worship, study, fellowship. This can be in big groups and small groups, but we desperately need to be together. Think of all the good that comes out of our times together: encouragement, support, inspiration, help, love, …

We also need to SCATTER!! That’s right. God never intended for His Family to abandoned the culture and live in the hills somewhere all by themselves. We can’t be salt and light unless we are out there making a difference.

This isn’t an “either or” option for us. The church, the Family of God, needs to both GATHER and SCATTER.

As you consider how you do each, be encouraged by this truth found in Hebrews 2…

“So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.” (Hebrews 2:11  NLT)
