The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. Jesus himself set the example for us. One of the first things he did when he began his ministry was to surround himself with men who desired to seek the Lord.
As I look back at the time I’ve spent here at ALERT, the things that have impacted me the most are the relationships I’ve been privileged to build with men who are running toward Christ alongside me. Because of ALERT, I have been blessed to be surrounded by men who encourage, teach, and hold me accountable in my walk with God. I have had the opportunity to see shortcomings in my own life that I was unaware of, and I have a place to be fully known by others who are walking with Christ alongside me. In these men, I have seen a clearer picture of the love of Christ through the way they live their lives.
Jesus never intended us to run towards him alone, so my question is, who are you running with?
