Life is Better Together

When people connect with one another in the context of a spiritual learning environment like a bible fellowship class or a small group, something wonderful happens. The power of a shared experience is an amazing thing. Lifelong friendships are born and then are encouraged to develop. You find friends with whom you will share times of great joy and fun memories. These are people who will walk with you, even carry you if necessary, through difficult times in life.

And yet, some people choose to avoid these environments. Every week many people (hundreds in my church) don't attend a bible fellowship class or a small group. They simply go to "big church" and watch the "show", attending only the worship service, and then they go home. Without interacting with people. With limited contact with anyone.

Here's The Point: Life is better together. Jesus spent time with His disciples. He could have accomplished His ministry without them. I mean, He was God, only in human flesh. And yet, He chose to live His life with and among people.

I hope you desire to be with others on a consistent, regular basis in a spiritual learning environment like a bible fellowship class or a small group. It's an opportunity to connect with people who will enrich your life.

This week, I'll be attending a conference that encourages people to get involved in bible fellowship (or small groups) with others. I hope to post some of what is shared there.
