Why don't some members of the body of Christ grow? Many are not growing in grace because they are not depending on other members of Christ's body to help them. It is not possible to be a healthy person if part of our body is not functioning in it's God given capacity. Cancer is an abnormality in which some of the body's cells stop contributing to the body and simply begin displacing functioning cells. We cannot be a holy people unless we are involved in helping each other "come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.”—Ephesians 4:13 But how are we to do this? The First Methodists were named such because they banded together for this very purpose. They took seriously the command to “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.”—James 5:16 For this very purpose they assembled every week that they might help each other spiritually.
