Post 24 of Study: Hebrews 3

 Notice in this chapter how interpersonal communication and relationship are central to the commands about faith. 

v. 13: but ^[b]exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Exhorting one another daily. I'm doing so in this blog. However, on a daily basis, how much do we turn to another believer and say, "God wants you to move on in your faith and not harden your heart against him and be deceived by sin." We can, of course, do it in a caustic and superior manner, like that. Or we can find more winsome ways, ways where the Venn Diagram Circles of truth and love are completely congruent. 

And, since I like to get into the granular level of communication, how would we do that? Thoughts?

We start by listening. We start with Scripture. We start with the fruit of the Spirit. We don't start with "I" do it this way or that way. 

It is amazing that the book of Hebrews doesn't have the pronoun "I" in it from the point of view of the writer (it does have it in quotations from the First Testament). Another reason why I know it's not Paul and perhaps is one of the gospel writers.
