A Lone Ranger or In Community?

Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Timothy 2:22

God's plan for our lives includes living intentionally in community with other believers. We pursue righteousness as we study the Bible together and seek to live it out. We pursue faith together as we share stories of what God is doing and/or has done in our lives. We pursue love together as we worship the Almighty God. We pursue peace together as we seek to live rightly in God's eyes. The key word in all this is, TOGETHER. We are not lone rangers out in the world, left to ourselves as orphans. Rather, God has called us, and put us, in community with other believers to live out the Christian life. This is what He's called us to, and this is what I hope my life reflects. If you are in a Christian community of grace and love, praise God, for that is what He's intended for you. If you are not in a Christian community, and would like to be in one, then pray that the Lord would lead you and guide you to a community of believers. He would love to answer that prayer! Then, keep your eyes open to how he might answer your prayer; you might suddenly meet another brother or sister in the faith, or you might suddenly see a church that meets at a good time for you. But, if you pray, God will indeed answer your prayer. He is a good God, and He wants good for your and mine, lives.
