what does the bible say about our social interaction? we are to encourage each other to do good works in Christ(hebrews 10:24-25) we are to take on the hardships of our brothers and sisters in the LORD in helping them to overcome(galatians 6:1-2) we are to make ourselves vulnerable in revealing our spiritual shortcomings to our brothers and sisters in Christ in order to battle sin(james 5:16) we are to share our resources with the brethren when they are in need(acts 2:44-45, hebrews 13:15-16, 1 timothy 6:17-18).
With my church I think they encouraged each other to do good works - almost all sermons focused on that and we were big on charity events monthly. By taking on hardships and sharing resources, we did have a large food pantry, ran a thrift store to raise money for the poor, and also gave money and items to a family in need (my mother watched their children for over a week as well). We also asked for people to announce their prayer requests at the beginning of services.
We didn't do this:
we are to make ourselves vulnerable in revealing our spiritual shortcomings to our brothers and sisters in Christ in order to battle sin(james 5:16)
