really?? seriously?? cause if this is true...then i'm in the shithouse...i've heard more than one pastor utter this statement...i always thought to myself..."maybe i'm in trouble then...maybe everything i do is just an act for other christians to see and praise me"....but being alone for stretches of time has made me realize....I CAN ONLY BE MYSELF WHEN OTHERS ARE AROUND!!! i can only use my gifts...i can only feel important...encouraged...etc....this is some kind of obscure..."if a tree falls in the woods" type application to human beings...so if you don't have people around to talk to you....does anyone see you go insane
and don't give me that "all you need is jesus" bullshit...THIS STATEMENT IS UNTRUE!!!!....we need human contact...human touch...hugs....eye contact....voice inflections....WE NEED EACH OTHER...WE NEED A CHURCH....not because of sermons...not because of worship music...because that's where we can shake a hand...find love...find forgiveness from and for each other....how come we can make sense of a study in which newborns were shown to be much more joyous and interactive when continually touched and held....and not see the destruction that a life of solitude can bring....maybe this is my weakness...but its one weakness i don't want to be cured from....it brings me back home....
maybe i'm just naive...maybe this is something that everyone has already realized....but i don't remember hearing this in church...i don't remember it being emphasized.....i've been guilty of having selective hearing on more than one occasion....but this needs to be preached...i've found something else i need to hear weak after weak....now there's 2
1. it is finished
2. we need each other
great list
