Like Sheep We…  Are stubborn.  Will deliberately and repeatedly harm ourselves.  Allow personal pride and self-assertion to overcome logical decisions.

Like Sheep We…  Insist that we know what is best for us.  Tend to cling to destructive habits.  Assert our will and ideas despite warnings we've received.

Establishing the Relationship  Two ways: – Baptism. –Acknowledgement of association with a group of Christians.

When Searching For A Congregation…  When moving we neglect the spiritual impact.  Consider consulting the elders.
