Fellowship - eBook

When believers think about growth, they generally think in terms of becoming more and more proficient in preaching, organizing, gathering people, collecting money, etc. This, however, is human growth, which does not result in fellowship, but rather in division. For example: An old, experienced preacher travels together with a young preacher. They apparently have glorious fellowship. However, one day they no longer travel together. What has happened? The younger one has become big too, and as a Norwegian saying goes, “Two big people don’t fit in one sack.”
The Scriptures, however, speak about divine growth, about growing with the increase that is from God. Col. 2:19. This growth leads to fellowship. Growth without fellowship is a deception.
