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.

-- Dennis Denning in We Are One in the Lord
