Verse: “Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.” – Hebrews 10:24-25
Quote: “To live a remote, retired, secluded life is the antipodes of spirituality as Jesus Christ taught it.”
Dictionary.com defines antipodes as “places diametrically opposite each other on the globe.” That is, two things which are polar opposites. It is one thing to live in the perfect peace of God, it is altogether different to keep to yourself and maintain your level of comfort. Christ never taught us to live quiet, non-controversial lives. If we model ourselves after Him, we would be constantly stirring up contention. Fellowship with other believers. Act out what God puts in. Go and live the life Christ laid out for us.
