For
many years I took an individualistic approach to the Christian life.
I was concerned about my growth
as a Christian, my progress
in holiness, my acquisition
of ministry skills. I prayed that God would enable me to
be more holy in my personal life and more effective
in my evangelism.
I asked God’s blessing on my church
and the Christian organization I worked
for. But as I learned about true fellowship, I began to pray
that we as
the Body of Christ would grow in holiness, that we would
be more effective witnesses to the saving grace of Christ. It is the
entire Body–not just me–that needs to grow. Jerry Bridges
