Next: Rose, party of FOUR???

I see a lot of motorcycles in Florida!  Its very common on a sunny day for an older couple to be out for a ride... no big deal!  BUT, this cycle is a little different than anything I have ever seen before.  It seems to me that this one could easily seat three people, perhaps even four!!!  As I think about it, Jesus said where two or three are gathered together, I am in the midst of them.  Humm, a church on a motorcycle???  In one of our classes AT CHURCH, we have been studying what it means to be a church and so I thought of the "one another" passages from the Bible.  Here are a few...

Some negative ones first...

WEB: Romans 14:13. Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.

WEB: I Corinthians 4:6. Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.

WEB: Galatians 5:26. Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

 WEB: Colossians 3:9. Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,

 WEB: James 4:11. Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

WEB: James 5:9. Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

Next, on to the positive...

 WEB: James 5:16. Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

WEB: I Peter 4:9. Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

WEB: I John 1:7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

 And this was only a few of them!!!  OK, there is enough in these verses for one very LONG post, so let me just say this:  Wouldn't it be nice to be in an assembly of people (a church) where they actually PRACTICED THESE THINGS!!!  Wait a minute, its not they, its me!!!  I need to read this again and remember to practice them myself!!!  Well, that is about it, but the only thing that remains to be addressed is a small little problem with the motorcycle....  Where do we store the hymnbooks?
