We thought we could be spiritual without a church. We thought we could teach our children about Jesus and the Bible by ourselves. You know what, we were wrong, we failed ourselves and our children. We need community in order to be part of the body of Christ. You can't be a Christian and live as an isolationist.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122361539939744451noreply@blogger.com
