CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
The
writer of Ecclesiastes (4:9-10) says, "Two are better off than one,
because together they can work more effectively. If one of them falls down, the
other can help him up. But if someone is alone and falls, it's just too bad, because
there is no one to help him." Jesus said, "Where two or three come
together in My name, I am there with them" (Matthew
18:20). Paul wrote in Romans 12:5, "Though we are many, we are one body in
union with Christ, and we are joined to each other as different parts of one
body." Christianity is personal, but never private. Church members must
break away from lone-ranger Christianity into a shared experience of
life-together in the Christian community.
