| | Been thinking about how lately I don't feel like we are all living as Christians, but more so like a bunch of people stuffed into a box with a piece of paper that says Christian church on it. So also been reading Blue Like Jazz and today I was reading about how most people think that faith is something to be lived alone. We live our own faiths out and we pray and work on our relationship with God, only during our devotion time and all that, all alone, but what about living our faith out as a church? Was talking with my sister when I had relationship issues (I don't know with who..=)) but she was saying that working through the situation was something that not only this guy and I had to work on, but it was something that the church or the body of Christ should also be involved in.
So although sometimes we have these issues that seem impossible to work through, they're not impossible because we have other people to help us, the body of Christ, like the other people who we see on Sundays, but really we shouldn't just speak with them on Sundays, we should be challenging and helping each other throughout the week. So if you're depressed, it's not something we go through alone, but it's something others help us with. Hmmm.. something I think we're missing in our churches, in our circle of friends, in our small groups, and in our families.
