Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart.Acts 2:46
My brethren, when you come together to eat, be waiting for one another.I Corinthians 11:33
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and ideal acts, not forsaking our own assembling together, according as the practice of some is, but encouraging one another, and so much the more as you observe the day drawing near.Hebrews 10:23-25
Do your diligence therefore to meet together more frequently for thanksgiving to God and for His glory. For when you meet together frequently, the powers of Satan are cast down; and his mischief comes to nought in the concord of your faith.I Ignatius to the Ephesians 13:1
But assemble yourselves all together with undivided heart.Ignatius to the Philadelphians 6:2
