Just a few people show up for Bible study. Less than half of people come to church. That's when you launch into Jesus' words: "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” But make sure to read the context. Instead of being words of assurance during events with low attendance, Jesus was actually talking about the tough topic of how to deal with sin in the church.
