Cell group- what it really really means...

Sigh...yet another cell group outing on Sunday morning which I am unable to attend.....
And then, we get a mail from a dear sister exhorting us to meet up to share and pray....how wonderful! Someone with spiritual insight - finally!!
Been thinking about this cell group that i have been in for the past 1 year ... it has been very different from my Uni cell group....guess as one starts working, different things take priority, eg. family, children, work, etc.... I know, i know...it's part of growing up......
But, cell group is not just about us meeting up to study the Word of God....as far as I can understand, most of my CG members are really grounded in the Word....and hence, we start nit picking at all the Scriptures, coz we think that that is what we are supposed to do in the CG instruction manual!
Food for thought - why is a CG called a CELL group? not care group or some other name? Coz it's supposed to be a dynamic structure which grows and multiplies.....and that can only happen if the cell is healthy.... but when a cell is only concerned for itself, it fails to grow and achieve what it was intended to be....and hence, the whole body suffers........
well, as far as i can understand - it says in the Bible that we are blessed so that we can go and bless others....not so that we can be comfortable and grow fat and lazy?!? God blessed Abraham so that he could be a blessing to the nations!!
