Further Thoughts on Community
A few weeks ago, I preached on Acts 2:42-47, the miracle of community that occurred or, at least, was idealized in the early church.
One thing I don't believe that I highlighted enough is the fact that community takes work. It is inconvenient. It is not "efficient."
An African Proverb I heard in an address by Kent Siladi states, "If you want to run faster, run alone. If you want to run farther, run together." I like it.
