Myth—Giving 10% Is A Tithe

Do Not Forsake Or Neglect To Assemble Together!

You’ll find home churches in the New Testament. They provide the kind of give and take that allows you to grow in His Word. As the apostasy of the church at large becomes more visible, there are an increasing number of these small church cells popping up around the world. Biblical truth

should reign. If you join a small group and there is no give and take in the discussion, but only a one-way dump—get out! It is another place of Satan again waiting for you. Godly reason is the hallmark for the small Bible cell. It is a true place of God and a wonderful spiritual place to learn the truth of

God’s Word. It is exemplified by the ability to reason with one another over the meaning of all scripture. When you join your mental reasoning with others and multiple Bible translations, you will truly find God’s presence.

“And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities, not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together

[as believers], as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25 AMP

I am aware that many people have left the church. They have been scattered by the hypocrisy and apostasy in the pulpit and assembly. Some have forsaken and neglected to get together with other believers. Let me

make it clear, it is not important for you to belong to a large church, but it is important to have the support and regular fellowship of real believers. Our faith is built up by knowledge of the Word and by fellowship with believers.

“But without faith, it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].” Hebrews 11:6 AMP
