”And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 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, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” | Acts 2: 40-47

I know that most of you are faithful to the Sunday worship services, and you tarry after services to visit and talk with one another.

But what about the other six days of the week?

Do you have much fellowship with those whose conversation is seasoned with grace and who are a good influence on you and your children?

The people of the world (religious world and social world) are not an influence for good or spiritual growth. “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” (1 Corinthians 15: 33)

But our brethren comfort us, encourage us, instruct us, and regular fellowship with them and their families will be a great blessing to you and your children.

Do not spend your social and family time with these who do not know God (86% of the week) and expect to correct the effect with a couple of hours on Sunday.

As much time as you can devote to good fellowship in Christ with other believers will reap great blessings to you and your family.
