Before the Cross: 7 Ways to Guard Your Heartნიმუში

4. Cultivate An Atmosphere Of Community

When we are adopted as sons and daughters of the one true King, we come into a family and are sent on a mission. This involves people. There’s no way to follow Jesus in isolation; it flat-out doesn’t even make sense. If Jesus says by following Him, you’ll be a part of the Church and make disciples…that does not translate to – just have your personal isolated relationship with me, and you’ll be fine. We need people. We need community.

Your heart needs people constantly pouring into you, and you need to be pouring into people. There’s a constant flow coming in and out as you love and serve others. People need to hear about Jesus, and you need to grow in the Lord with your family that you’ll be with for all eternity.
