Genesis 2:18 NLT Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”

Psalm 133:1 NIV How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

Acts 2:46-47 NLT Every day they (believers) continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

Ephesians 4:15 NLT Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.

You can’t hear or receive from someone you don’t trust.
