Josh Harris, Stop Dating the Church:
The longer I’m a Christian, the more aware I become that I cannot live the Christian life on my own. My individual and direct relationship with God through Jesus is the greatest privilege and He is truly all I need — and yet God in His wisdom has created all of us to need others, too. Is this a contradiction? Not at all, for God has ordained that much of His grace flows to us through others. Says Pastor John Piper, “Sanctification is a community project.”
