As a Christian, I need that same time alone with God if I am to be involved in what He would like me to do or be on this day. If I am to experience Him I need to be talking with Him and listening to His voice. The disciples knew how to pray but one time they did not have the spiritual power to heal a young boy. Jesus said they needed to pray and fast. We in the church of the 1990's have not taken this seriously.
Fellowship is the gathering of like minds.
The best fellowship takes place in small groups. Here is where your Christian life can be challenged and nurtured. It is also the place where you are held accountable for what you are doing in your Christian life. Another means of grace is often overlooked. It is the opportunities we have for the worship and praise of God.
