“In a lecture, I once heard church leadership expert John Maxwell say that

you know you’re a leader by looking behind you. If there’s nobody there,

then you’re just taking a walk. Hebrews 10:24, 25 show us one of the many

benefits of being part of a church. When we have people behind us, we

can motivate them to do acts of love and good works. When we have a

leader in front of us, we have someone to motivate the best in us. When we

are alone, we lack the empowerment and encouragement that come from

working with likeminded people. We need each other.”
