The greater the challenges, the more important it is to stay connected. It's incredibly risky to attempt to fly solo. God created us as relational beings. Those statements speak of the necessity of doing life together. Life on life becomes the fuel for a healthy growing disciple. In spite of this, most believers find that doing life together is like riding uphill against the wind - challenging and at times even discouraging. Moving toward people, rather than against or away from them, is essential for our basic survival.
