fellowship

hey y`all!
today was the usual day, except savannah cotton, a girl on our dance team hurt her knee really bad so i sat in the doctors office with her for like an hour, please pray for her because we really need her Sunday at Showstopper, and because shes in a lot of pain...thanks! so my devotion...i read on fellowship last night, because its one of my favorite things to do & i wanted to see what the bible had to say about it! 1 John 2:10 says, "He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbiling in him." which means if we love others we will be in the light and they cant make us stumble, we should hang around other Christians for they will not tempt us to do unchristlike things. 1 Corinthinas 1:10 says, "Now I beseech you bretheren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment" which tells that as fellow Christians in the church we should agree with one another and not be divided so we can think alike and do a better job of spreading Gods word! The next one is one of my favorites. 2 Corinthians 6:14 says, "But ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what comminion hath light with darkness?" which is telling us not to surround ourselves with people that dont believe in God, not that we shouldnt talk to non-Christians we just should not adopt their ways and we shouldnt hang around them to where they could influence us, we should hang around those who are righteous and love God as we do. We shouldnt become partners with those who reject God just like light is not best friends with darkness. but we should always tell non-believers about Jesus. and one more, 1 Peter 3:8 says, "Finally be ye all of one mind having compassion one of another love as bretheren, be pitiful, be courteous" which tells us that we should live in harmony with one another, we should get along and not argue, and we should love eachother and have sympathy towards one another!
i love y`all
God Bless!
