Our Purpose Driven Life(English Version)

CHAPTER 19 February 7, 2004 1:25am - 2:02am

     The Holy Spirit is the only way to strengthen our fellowship or group, but it needs a strong commitment or we really want to do it. And we need right decision and we have to take risk even if it's hard, we still should do it and we should be sincere in one fellowship, that no matter what trials(challenges) we experiencing we will still tell our problems to the group. And it's wrong to just tell other things just to skip telling what we should have to say. And we thought that not by telling it to the group the problem will be gone. But maybe we will forget but whenever we remember it the feeling of hurt is still there.

     And we should learn also how to confront or telling the truth in front of the person even if it hurts because if we will not tell the truth we cannot maintain the a strong fellowship.

     It doesn't mean that a strong fellowship is always happy and no trials, a strong fellowship is no matter what happens you will not scatter and what the group will do is to help each other to have faith or to main a Christ like faith.

     Whenever one of our group members have trials we should help her and not gossiping her problems to other people that do not belong to the group, that's not necessary because that won't help the group but destroy the group, what we need is to ask help from the group and not to tell it the others that are out of the group.

     Then having pride is not good or being selfish that your thinking about your own self. It creates a wall between us and Lord God our Father and our Creator. Because if we are down to earth it creates a bridge, connection that produce relation to Lord god our Father and our Creator. And God will help us to the trials we experience. Because if we are down to earth we accept that we are not perfect, we make faults and we don't know anything.

     We should not treat ourselves higher than the others instead we should mingle with them because we will understand them if we show equality towards others.

     We should also have respect that no matter what challenges that our brothers and sisters faces we will still help them and understand and we will not be negative and not open to help the members of our group.

     We should also have more time to our group not only when we need or feel that we will see each other that's should not be like that. And it's wrong that we only listen to the teachings of only one person, we should listen to all.

     All should study and ask for help from our trials. And it is not right that even if there is no trials or we think that we should not meet and do fellowship, we will not meet. Because all the Christians before meet every day, they tell stories and eat together.

     What's important also is we should not be scared, because sometimes even if we know what to say we are scare, because it might give negative effect to our brothers and sisters. We need to confront and tell the truth, because a person who is brave to tell the truth most of the time we hurt their feelings, and t prevent this we should not saying it by shouting and we should say it nicely, so that even if it hurts that person will not totally feel it and will think that we just care about them.

     God doesn't like gossip people or telling the stories to other people who does not belong to the group, because as i've said earlier it destroy, and what we should do is to help our members to give solution to their challenges in life.
