I
believe God wants you to be saved from sin and delivered to a happy and whole
life as one of Christ's disciples. That journey is so much easier if you open
yourself to the Bible's teaching, if you listen to the wisdom of Christians who
have traveled before you, and if you do it in community -- with a group of
seekers or disciples who will support you, encourage you, and challenge you
along the way. Ideally that community of sisters and brothers and friends will
hold you accountable for becoming your best self. Our efforts to become the
people we want to be are often done in groups, whether Alcoholics Anonymous,
Weight Watchers, Walk to Emmaus, a women's Bible study, a men's group, or [an
adult] Sunday school class. We need each other.
