FELLOWSHIP!!

According to Paul, a true FELLOWSHIP is different from our common understanding. In Philippians Chapter 1:1-11, Paul describes true fellowship as: 1) "I HAVE YOU IN MY MIND". 1:3-6. 2) "I HAVE YOU IN MY HEART". 1:7-8. 3) "I HAVE YOU IN MY PRAYERS". 1:9-11. It's good that "you are inviting friends to come over to the house for some fellowship" or "Spending an afternoon playing golf together-great fellowship" or "Fellowship at the retreat" or "Potluck lunch fellowship after the church" but, but , my friend, "FELLOWSHIP" in the Bible is deeper than that. True Christian fellowship is much more than socializing and being present at a meeting. YOU CAN BE CLOSE TO PEOPLE PHYSICALLY AND MILES AWAY FROM THEM SPIRITUALLY. How many times we told people that we will pray and you didn't? Litmus test!!!
