"Let us not give up meeting together. as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the day approaching.: Heb. 10:25
No more timely words than these could be spoken today.
They are a call to faithfulness to every member of the church; far too many with decreasing attendance, and most tragically, the closing of some.
This is a fact...and indeed a very sad one.
The writer of Hebrews pleaded for two things:
Do not give up on the church.
Encourage others to join you in both praying for and regularly attending the one where you have your membership.
Continuous absenteeism doesn't correlate with encouragement for others to attend.
Take to heart the passage at the top. You will never regret it.
