Nancy Leigh DeMoss emphasizes the peril of living without connection to a local church. She compares individuals who isolate themselves from their church community to lone sheep, highlighting their vulnerability when separated from the protective flock and shepherd. This analogy illustrates how important community is for spiritual safety and support.

By distancing oneself from the church, individuals expose themselves to various dangers, akin to how isolated sheep are preyed upon by predators. DeMoss's insights serve as a reminder of the strength that comes from being part of a community and the risks associated with going it alone in one's spiritual journey.
