THOUGHT 4 U 2 DAY........ Man often loses much of his worth when he is detached from the world of persons and things about him. There are some forms of life that can live in relative isolation. A sponge, for instance, fastens itself to the bottom of the sea and completes its life cycle there. A lichen grows on the side of a rock and, while it spreads around slightly, never moves from its original location. But man isnt made to be like that. His power and usefulness come, not in isolation, but through union and cooperation with others. No life can be truly valuable in Gods sight that isnt attached to Jesus Christ. We need Him, just as every member of our body needs to be attached to it, if its going to be of any value. We also need fellowship with other believers who are attached to Christ. A soldier fighting a battle alone, or a single man working with pick and shovel trying to dig a Panama Canal, would scarcely be more effectual than a Christian trying to establish Gods Kingdom all by himself. There are people in every community who are essentially Christian in spirit who have nothing to do with the Church. Not good if detached is the label we might put upon their lives.
