Speaking in terms of internet connection, there's basically two ways of connecting your computer. By ethernet connection, which comes directly from the router or wirelessly (meaning without any wires attached).
Now I'm going to use this example to establish a parallel between two types of Christians!... Let's call them the "Ethernet Christians" and "Wireless Christians".
The "Ethernet Christians" are those whose connection is only in the church!... In the church they are mindful and thoughtful of God's ways and will, however their connection is limited to that space. After they leave the church, their connection stops, their prayer stops, the meditation in God's word stops, they stop to be in the spirit and go back to please their flesh, cravings and desires. Then because there's no connection, one will be without guidance, strength and will be lost.
The "Wireless Christians" are those that no matter where they are, in the church, work, home, etc... they are always connected with God! Not necessary through prayers, fasting or the like, but above all in Spirit, mindful and thoughtful on how to do God's will and to please him. They don't depend on a pastor, church, or 3rd parties, they are inspired, revived and renewed by their own connection with God.
The "Wireless Christians" know that in order to have a "strong signal" they need to be close to the "Router" otherwise they will become weak. We need to be close to the "Root" of strength, energy, positivity, guidance, inspiration, peace, wisdom, self-control, etc...
The Lord Jesus is called the Root of David (Revelation 5:5).
Whom have we been?
The "Ethernet Christian" or the "Wireless Christian"?
