CITIZEN
Illustration★★★“I am quite sure,” writes E. Stanley Jones, “that I should not have survived as a young Christian had I not had the corporate life of the church to hold me up. When I rejoiced, they rejoiced with me. When I was weak, they strengthened me, and once when I fell-a rather bad fall-they gathered around me by prayer and love, and without blame or censure they lovingly lifted me back to my feet again.”
The point
E. Stanley Jones credited the church's corporate life and mutual support for sustaining his early faith.
