Life Together

The physical presence of other Christians is a source of incomparable joy and strength to the believer.

My Friends

My friends ain't the way I wish they were, they are just the way they are.

-Rich Mullins, "Brother's Keeper"

Christian Community

The serious Christian, set down for the first time in a Christian community, is likely to bring with him a very definite idea of what Christian life together should be and to try to realize it. But God's grace speedily shatters such dreams...Only that fellowship which faces such disillusionment, with all its unhappy and ugly aspects, begins to be what it should be in God's sight, begins to grasp in faith the promise that is given to it.
