Today I would like to share with you the word “Fellowship” as rendered from the Greek word in the New Testament in the KJV “Koinonia”. The word is from the Greek root word “Koinonos”, which is translated partaker five times, partner three times, fellowship one time and companion one time for a total of ten times.
The word “fellowship” (Koinonia) is used in the New Testament a total of twenty times in eighteen verses. It is often rendered fellowship, communion, communication and contribution. The word koinonia often is used as the share which one has in something or ones participation. In current vernacular, fellowship is often used as a meeting or a get together of believers even as, “hanging out with Christians”. The word is also used today as a state of being in alignment with God’s Word and His Will. Read more on Fellowship Forever…

Living the Christian life is more than attending a service, paying tithes, raising an offering, planning the next Pastor and Wife anniversary, selling chicken dinners and going to the Holy Convocation. These activities are done at the expense of relationships and we camouflage it by saying this is ministry, this is service unto the Lord.

You’ve heard it said countless times by many…”I speak my mind…” It’s like a badge of honor, if you don’t like what someone says, you speak what’s on your mind. So many free thinkers and out spoken people are passionate about speaking the truth (relative to them) about a matter. How unfortunate for those of us who can’t control their untimely outburst of words when they feel they’re in an uncomfortable situation.
Speaking you mind can be a good thing when tempered with a little wisdom, it can also be a bad thing when the one exercising that right, uses a poor choice of words in a demeaning, spiteful and malicious way. Words are powerful and I think that goes without saying. In fact words carry such an impact, educators are careful to use the right choice of words when educating our children, politicians choose their words carefully because stocks can rise or fall when use a selection of words and reputations are destroyed over the use of wrong words. News anchors can sensationalize a story or vilify a person with their words. Words can lift, insult and yes…hurt. In our present society, no one cares about hurting your feelings. As we communicate and often speak the contents of our hearts in the heat of a disagreement, those same words can shape a relationship into something less that desirable. Families have split and relationships have become strained by the words we choose to use. How about silence or the absence of words? It’s possible for the absence of words to hurt worse that someone speaking their mind in a negative manner.
