God wants us in vital relationships

by Glenn Wagner

From the outset of the human story, God wanted to declare publicly that it is never good for us to live alone, disconnected from real and deep relationships with others. Personal Bible study, prayer, service and outreach all have a strategic place in the life of every Christian—so much so that you will never be a card-carrying, spiritually mature christian without them—but God never meant them as substitutes for vital personal connections with others in his family.
