IN THE VIDEO, JIM<br />

QUOTED HEBREWS<br />

10:24, WHICH SAYS<br />

WE ARE TO “SPUR”<br />

ONE ANOTHER ON.<br />

EVEN IF YOU’VE NEVER<br />

RIDDEN A HORSE, YOU’RE<br />

PROBABLY FAMILIAR<br />

WITH SPURS FROM THE<br />

MOVIES. BASICALLY THEY<br />

ARE JUST SMALL METAL<br />

TOOLS A RIDER WEARS<br />

ON HIS BOOTS, AND WHEN<br />

HE WANTS TO URGE THE<br />

HORSE TO WALK OR RUN<br />

MORE QUICKLY OR MOVE<br />

FROM SIDE TO SIDE, HE<br />

GENTLY PUSHES THE SPUR<br />

INTO THE HORSE’S SIDE.<br />

WHEN USED CORRECTLY<br />

A SPUR DOES NOT HURT<br />

THE HORSE, BUT IT CAN<br />

BE A GREAT WAY TO<br />

REINFORCE THE RIDER’S<br />

OTHER COMMANDS OR<br />

COMMUNICATE QUICKLY<br />

AND CLEARLY DURING<br />

RIDING.<br />

In addition to <strong>the</strong> wonderful<br />

metaphor of this verse,<br />

which gives us a word picture<br />

of urging each o<strong>the</strong>r on to<br />

do better, it’s also one of<br />

many verses in <strong>the</strong> Bible<br />

you just can’t obey if you<br />

don’t participate in <strong>the</strong> life<br />

of a church and connect with<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r believers.<br />

HERE ARE A FEW MORE:<br />

Be devoted to one ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

in bro<strong>the</strong>rly love. Honor one<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r above yourselves.<br />

Romans 12:10<br />

Serve one ano<strong>the</strong>r in love.<br />

Galatians 5:13<br />

Be kind and compassionate<br />

to one ano<strong>the</strong>r, forgiving each<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r, just as in Christ God<br />

forgave you.<br />

Ephesians 4:32<br />
