Body of christ Quote by Peter Haas
““Statistically, you can take two people, give them the same quantity of God’s Word, and the one with the most Christian friends will be the one who’s most likely to apply it. So the real question we need to ask ourselves is this, “Are we intimately connected with other people in the body of Christ?” If not, it doesn’t matter how many sermons or worship experiences you ingest. You have very low odds of actually changing.””
