Isolation.

We are commanded to encourage one another, according to Hebrews 10:23-25, which says, “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

There is a spiritual danger of isolation in our world. It is an epidemic greater than the pandemic experienced and far more dangerous. It is the willful decision to miss being with God’s people for times of worship, prayer, the Word and service. First to not regularly meet with other believers for worship, time in the Word, prayer, mutual ministry to and with one another is simply choosing to disobey known commands of God.

So, what about you? Are you trying to do Christianity on your own? Do you think you don’t really need to go to church to stay devoted to God?

We were made to love one another, encourage each other. Instead we opt for personal ease, comfort, or worldly pleasures.

Isolation leads to being swallowed up in discouragement. God’s plan for all of us is to live in harmony. He only wants the best for His children. We are all in the family of God.
