Community
"Love cannot exist in isolation: away from others, love bloats into pride. Grace cannot be received privately: cut off from others it is perverted into greed. Hope cannot develop in solitude: separated from the community, it goes to seed in the form of fantasies. No gift, no virtue can develop and remain healthy apart from the community of faith." - Eugene Peterson in Reversed Thunder

Have you read Dietrich Bonhoeffer's 'Life Together'?
ReplyDeleteI think you'd love it, be challenged by it, and soak up his lived out wisdom!
Yes I have! I wasn't able to give the justice it is due however because I had to read it in a week. But what I read was great!
