Faith That Works
09/18/2011
We have been taught by both culture and the church that faith is to be a private affair. The net effect has been Christians who are emotionally and spiritually isolated from each other. This plays right into Satan's hands. He is a roaring lion that seeks to isolate and devour us. The good news is that the Bible does not model a private faith, but a relational faith-a faith where Christians confess their sins, pray together, and lean on one another.
Matt 9:9; Matt 6:1-6; 1Pet 5:8; Acts 2:42; Acts 13:1; 14; 15:36-16:5; Mark 14:32; Ecc 4:9-12; Prov 27:17
