It has been said that you are the sum of your closest five friends. Long before that...."birds of a feather flock together." From Finances(how to use), to Occupation(think more Vocation), to Understanding(wisdom with knowledge), to Relationships(the treatment of others); it seems the people we have the strongest camaraderie with, tell a tale of our Character. How many have done "dirt all by their lonely" in the treach-erous shadows? How few have done what seems great all alone? Even the loner has a distant mentor who's footsteps, philosophy, or mannerisms have molded their "swagger." (Forgive the use of such a word) Not all are leaders, most are followers and we tend to follow those closest to us.
The bible says that bad company corrupts good morals. You ever think of why that is? If two are in company with one another, it would be safe to say that both are either equals or un-equals. Same with larger groups. So why doesn't the saying go...good company builds good morals? SELAH.
Simply put, who is good but God? Yet Iron does Sharpen Iron and community is a big part of life and is essential for growth in many ways.
Often we seek the acceptance of people rather than God (PEER PRESSURE), rather than the acceptance of the Almighty (SUPERIOR PRESSURE). THIS IS THE TRUE DIFFERENCE OF MAN'S RELIGION AND TRUE RELIGION/SPIRITUALITY.
I begin on the day I began (albeit a few hours later...I was born around 12 noon) hoping to connect various people in a community for growth that will spread to their families and friends. FEEL FREE TO SHARE!
