Start your day off with this 1 minute devotional from Pastor Mike Fabarez of Focal Point Radio Ministries.

Guest (Male): Here's Mike Fabarez, Bible teacher on Focal Point.

Mike Fabarez: Have you considered lately how important fellowship is with other Christians? I mean, how important it is to your faith? The Apostle Paul knew the significance of this kind of fellowship. No matter how grounded he was in the faith, he knew that he wanted and needed quality time with other Christians.

Think of this passage here in Romans 1:11 and 12. It says, "I long to see you that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith." So what about you? Are you taking time to fellowship with other disciples of Christ?

Make a decision today that you will have fellowship not just at church on the weekends, but in your home, maybe at a restaurant, the ballpark, whatever it might be. You make sure you find time with other Christians. You might just realize your faith needed the encouragement.

Guest (Male): That's Mike Fabarez, Bible teacher on Focal Point. Listen each weekday to Pastor Mike's half-hour teaching program heard on this station and learn more about Focal Point when you go online to focalpointradio.org.

Churchgoers Just Admitted Something Troubling

The world is wearing out Christians. More and more are saying that spiritual matters rarely come up in their conversations with other believers. Our culture hasn't silenced us, we have talked ourselves into silence. Where Christians should be having an impact, they are stepping aside instead of stepping up.


If you want to break your silence and shine a light into this culture, be sure to request the book Making a Difference by R.C. Sproul.
