Note on fellowship

Discussed this with Kin Wee abt tis after Sunday lunch...

The Bible's standard for f/ship - very simple (but not easy, nor instant):
"They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts..."

Glad = appreciating one another (i.e. delighting in the other person, simply bcos that person is himself/herself...

Sincere = being real with one another (i.e. open, sharing abt our joys and sorrows, strengths and weaknesses, triumphs and struggles...) 1 Thess 5:18

It's not easy though... it doesn't come naturally... but it's genuine, that's for sure...

So it gotta be bcos of Christ... "He is our peace, Who has broken down every wall..."
