“REMEMBER THE BANANA – WHEN IT LEFT THE BUNCH IT GOT SKINNED.”

I received that one-liner by E-mail long ago with many others.

People who know their BIBLE remember one particular verse when they read that one-liner. The verse is Hebrews 10:25 where it says in the NEW LIVING TRANSLATION:

“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”

THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE says that we should admonish one another, that means warning, urging and encouraging one another.

Union is strength, let us remember that.

And this is what Ignatius says, “When ye frequently, and in numbers meet together, the powers of Satan are overthrown, and his mischief is neutralized  by your likemindedness in the faith.”

Not long ago I came across the following quote by Wilma Rudolph, “When the sun is shining, I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.”

I hope we do not only attend Church Services when the sun is shining, but also when it is raining and thundering.

“Remember the banana – when it left the bunch it got skinned.”
