Spiritual Halfway Houses
Ideally, believers in Christ are not meant to live in isolation. In fact, we are instructed to live out our faith in community with one another. Listen to this advice from the author of Hebrews:
"And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." (Hebrews 10:24-25, ESV)
But, let's say that you are a new believer in Jesus and you don't have any connection to a church. In fact, it's possible that there aren't even any churches in your neighborhood or town. How can you "meet together" when there is no one and no place for you to meet? According to TWR President Lauren Libby, you form a "radio home group" which he describes as a "spiritual halfway house." On today's Footsteps, Lauren takes us to Sri Lanka and paints a good picture of a radio home group. After you listen to today's episode, please pray for these new and growing believers in Sri Lanka.
