When connection is secure, clarity is supplied.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence\xa0to enter the Most Holy Place\xa0by the blood of Jesus,\xa020\xa0by a new and living way\xa0opened for us through the curtain,\xa0that is, his body,\xa021\xa0and since we have a great priest\xa0over the house of God\u2026\xa022\xa0let us draw near to God\xa0with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,\xa0having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience\xa0and having our bodies washed with pure water.\xa023\xa0Let us hold unswervingly to the hope\xa0we profess,\xa0for he who promised is faithful.\xa024\xa0And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds\u2026\xa025\xa0not giving up meeting together,\xa0as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another\u2014and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:19-25 (NIV)

The Enemies of Connection:

1. Pride

2. Shame

3. Fear \u2028

When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet\xa0and saw the mountain in smoke,\xa0they trembled with fear.\xa0They stayed at a distance\xa019\xa0and said to Moses, \u201cSpeak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak\xa0to us or we will die.\u201d20\xa0Moses said to the people, \u201cDo not be afraid.\xa0God has come to test\xa0you, so that the fear\xa0of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.\u201d21\xa0The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was. Exodus 20:18-21(NIV)

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters,\xa0who share in the heavenly calling,\xa0fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge\xa0as our apostle and high priest. Hebrews 3:1(NIV)
