Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common.
In our day, there are a multitude of reasons why persons stop going to church, and to some folk such reasons might seem valid. There are those who may not like the music, there are others who, because of the virus, may view church attendance as being too great a risk, even though some of those persons can be found at Publix, where shopping is a pleasure.
A person is not put at any greater risk by coming to church, than by going to work in an office where the common use of fax machines, computers, toilets or printers in an enclosed environment, for prolonged periods of time, renders the spread of germs and viruses more likely.
And there are others, who because of the high gas prices may prefer or opt to do church online. We’re not here to judge anyone’s motive or decisions, but this we do know, that as the time of Christ’s second coming begins to loom large on the horizon, the oft rubbing of shoulders, and the regular in-person assembly of the saints would become even more important.
Acts 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
