While visiting my son's kindergarten class I took notice of some words on a poster on the wall of the class room.  They were the words to a song the teacher had been teaching the children to sing.  They go like this:

             The more we get together, together, together,
             The more we get together, the happier we'll be,
             For your friends are my friends,
             And my friends are your friends,
             The more we get together, the happier we'll be.

The words to this song teach a valuable lesson that should cause us, as Christians to sit up and take notice.  They teach a great truth about fellowship.
     The song starts out with "The more we get together, the happier we'll be."  This is very much true with the subject of fellowship.  Association with those "of like precious faith" is one of the sweetest things this life has to offer.  The psalmist wrote, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;  As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore" (Psalm 133:1-3).  He paints a beautiful picture of Children of God having fellowship here below and how happy it can cause us to be.  Happiness is what it should cause; however, it seems as though some think it will cause just the opposite.  What I mean is, some Christians avoid any fellowship with other Christians outside of worshipping together on Sunday.  All Christians should understand that association with other Christians is the grandest things of this life.
     And then the songs says, "For your friends are my friends, And my friends are your friends."  Can we, as Christians, truly say this?  It is true that to some extent each person is going to have a certain number of people with whom they are uniquely associated.  Yet, it should be just as true that, as Christians,  we all share fellowship with the same group of people to a great extent.  Paul warns, "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners" 1 Corinthians 15:33.  And Peter tells of how Lot was "vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:  (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)"  (2 Peter 2:7-8).  If having association with worldly people can do such damage to one’s soul, how much more shall the association with righteous people cause us to be righteous, and thus, happy?
     When is the last time you visited in the home of a fellow Christian?  When is the last time you asked a Brother in Christ into your home?  When is the last time you took a Sister in Christ bowling, or suchlike?  When is the last time you invited the teens into your home for banana spits and a Bible study?  When is the last time you asked a fellow Christian to go with you to study the Bible with someone, or to try to set up a Bible study?  Brethren, any and all of these things (and more) can go a long way toward establishing a bond between Christians that no one can tear asunder.  And it will go a long way toward showing that we truly enjoy the fellowship of other Christians.
