I have something on my mind that really bothers me, and I wonder if any one else feels the same way? What is Christian fellowship anyway? I would think that Christian fellowship would be when Christians get together for some social event and the topic of discussion would always turn to Christ. After all we are all one in the body.
Have you noticed that when professing Christians get together for a time of fellowship there seems to be something missing? At least that is how it has been with me. I’ve noticed that there is not a lot of talk about Christian things. Oh, we talk about each others jobs, and families. We tell each other of something funny that has happened recently. Mostly it seems people talk about their troubles and all the illnesses and problems others are going through. Is this gossip? And, we joke around and say clever things. We don’t usually even talk about ideas. But, most of all Christ is left out.
Time and again, I’ve noticed that no one mentions Christ, or the Bible, or God. People don’t seem to share the things of Christ and I wonder why? After all, we are suppose to be different, (and we are) so it would seem that we would want to share things that have to do with Christian living. Or, something that the Lord has done for us lately. Do we just take Him for granted?
I’d call this fellowship and not Christian fellowship. It seems to me this is no different than how unbelievers fellowship.
Anyway, I’d like to know if anyone else has noticed this and if anyone has any suggestions to turn this around. I need your input and advise.
