Malachi 3.16 seems to be a pivotal verse in the book:
"Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name."

PS: Hope you had a good Bible study; so did you happen to read Malachi recently? I do think that 3.16 is a great and relevant encouragement to believers to seek out and enjoy fellowship as pilgrims on the heavenly journey!Thank you, I am off to God's word

Our church priests iof the NC in spirit, unlike the OC priest of the flesh
Ezkiel 22:
26 Her priests do violence to My law and profane My holy things.
They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they fail to distinguish between the clean and the unclean.
They disregard My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
Malachi 2:1
And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.

Malachi has always been a hard read for me, mainly because it's hard for me to look past the historical and literal meaning behind it, namely, the Israelites were slacking off on their animal sacrificing and YHWH ain't happy about it!
Compared to some of the earlier prophets here Malachi's message seems almost at odds. Isaiah in particular seems to come across even as anti-sacrifice.
Regardless, I need to learn to discern the spiritual wisdom in all the scriptures more, instead of obsessing with analyzing it.

Here's a great verse from this short prophecy:
"Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another; and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the LORD and that thought upon His name."
How searching and relevant!
We in the New Testament era should value fellowship in wholesome, Godly fear.
Blessings.
The great preacher, Carter Conlon (he took over at Times Square Church after the death of David Wilkerson) gives one of the most powerful renderings of that passage that I have ever heard, in this YouTube video entitled "Wake up Church". The video is a compilation of cuts from various sermons given by five great preachers: David Wilkerson, Keith Daniel, Carter Conlon, a young Jim Cymbala and the incomparable Leonard Ravenhill. Here's the link to the video--it is well worth the 10 minutes it takes to get through it.
I would say, "Enjoy" but it will make you weep.

@LadyCrosstalk : I think Malachi is a tremendously relevant book about the faithful remnant responding to times of apostasy. Malachi 3.16 seems to be a key.

Ms. @Donna Fletcher FYI, did you see this thread opened a while ago? I think Malachi is an excellent book for Bible readers ...

This verse is particularly helpful and searching!

Amen, The Lord knows those that fear Him, and His ears are open to them.Here's a great verse from this short prophecy:

Although Malachi isn't about the church at all - but about the remnant of Israel in the Old Testament - it is such a relevant little Old Testament prophecy by which believers can encourage themselves. 3.16 is very applicable today.Thank you!
