People Power

I know, I know, you don’t have to be in church to be a Christian. That may be, but you sure will have a hard time growing as a Christian without other Christians around you.

I don’t get mad or tired of hearing people argue this with me, I just get sad. Sad for them.

You see, the more time I spend in small groups of people who are seeking to grow their relationship in Christ, the more I grow and get refueled and energized.

Tuesday mornings, I spend an hour with five to six men who are all working on their understanding of God and how He fits into their everyday lives. It is the best time of my week. Why? Because we can share together, suffer together, learn together and laugh together. We always leave in a good place. That is what Christian fellowship is all about, whether that is happening in a men’s group, a Life group, a Sunday School Class or on Sunday mornings.

By definition, you can be alone and be a Christian. Personally, I just don’t recommend it. You miss so much in fellowship and accountability. You never know when someone may have a significant insight for your life. We are created to be together. It just works better.
