"Firmly rooted ... and now being built up. Col 2:7"

Be An Encourager!
“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching”
(Hebrews 10:25 NIV)
I believe that more people fail for lack of encouragement than any single thing. I also believe that the church assembly was designed for mutual encouragement more than anything else. When Christians put more thought and energy into encouragement, we will see a dramatic difference in our congregations.
Richard M. Ellis offers these gems on encouragement:
“Encouragement is oxygen to the soul.”

“People put forth greater effort under the spirit of approval than under the spirit of criticism.”

“People tend to become what the most important people in their lives think they will become.”

“To help encourage, say something uplifting in the first 60 seconds of a conversation.”
