As I read people - and hundreds of them are moving into our south metro area every month - they are so weary of their isolation and loneliness. Their television friends never laugh at their jokes or wrap their arms around them. Their E-mail gives them more information than inspiration. They are cut off from the world except when they drive out of their garage once in a while to wave at their neighbor of whom they know little more than first name. Certainly not the names of the neighbor's kids nor dogs. It's sad. But it's true. So church men and women all over the world are discovering the way to combat loneliness and isolation is to get the church back in the homes in the neighborhoods. Paul Yonggi Cho, pastor of the largest church in the world (Full Gospel Central Church in Seoul, Korea) has built his great church by developing thousands of small group Bible studies where Koreans get to know one another and pray for one another. So, are you lonesome tonight? Want to take a stab against isolation

that's killing your family? Start a simple, Bible Study in your home. Invite your neighbors. Check out Sonrise Bookstore for Serendipity materials. Man, woman! Do something before you die.
