"I often found myself prefering the company of people outside my congregation, men and women who did not follow Jesus. Or worse, preferring the company of my sovereign self. But soon I found that my preferences were honored by neither Scripture nor Jesus. I didn't come to the conviction easily, but finally there was no getting around it: there can be no maturity in the spiritual life, no obedience in following Jesus, no wholeness in the Christian life apart from immersion and embrace of community. I am not myself by myself. Community, not the highly vaunted individualism of our culture, is the setting in which Christ is at play. "
- Eugene Peterson
Sunday Morning we talked about the "shalom" (peace) of Christ being in our lives if we let Him be Lord over our Worries... we talked the idea behind "shalom" is a wholeness and a joining together. I was emailed this quote today.
Look at this verse and comment me on what you think??
3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.
