Churches aren't the only places where believers get together; church houses, small groups, and other social settings are also common places for assembly. God's Word contains knowledge and a warning to prepare "more so as you see the Day approaching." Regarding the spiritual reality and necessity of "do not forsake the assembly," the gathering is more than a formal event. A summons to join forces under God's strength. We, the Church, are to show the world God is love through our actions.
