Fellowship

Those who can sit in silence with their peers, not knowing what to say but knowing that they should be there, can bring new life in a dying heart. Those who are not afraid to hold a hand in gratitude, to shed tears in grief or to let a sigh of sadness rise straight from the heart can break through paralyzing boundaries and witness the birth of a new fellowship, the fellowship of the broken. As my good friend and OT Professor Dr. Steve Hooks has said, the church should not be a house for the holy, but a hospital for the spiritually sick. The church is an organism, not an organization; a movement, not a monument.
