The New Testament lends no support to the idea of lone Christians. Close and regular fellowship with other believers is not just a nice idea, but an absolute necessity for the encouragement of Christian values.

Donald Guthrie

Prayer is that act in Christianity in which there is the greatest encouragement.

J. C. Ryle

Let your dealing with those you begin with be so gentle, convincing, and winning, that the report of it may be an encouragement to others to come.

Richard Baxter

One of the highest of human duties is the duty of encouragement. There is a regulation of the Royal Navy which says: “No officer shall speak discouragingly to another officer in the discharge of his duties.”

William Barclay

 9   Encouragement is the kind of expression that helps someone want to be a better Christian, even when life is rough.
