Community

It is pretty clear that we are called to live in community, i recently got an email from a friend who had this to say about Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12 paraphrased -- "If we do life together... "we can help each other succeed," "we'll be picked up at the point of falling," "we can stay warm when the winter comes," "we can stand back to back and conquer"..."

Stand back to back and conquer, the wording is something out of a man movie, it seems William Wallace or Maximus should be uttering these words to their men in battle. I think a lot of time we forget that we are at war, a war that is unseen a war that is way more important than money, or political gain, or the economy, or whatever esle war conquers. We are called as Christians to live above ourselves as a part of this crazy thing called the world and too often we would rather shutter under the safety of the pew with our nose in a hymnal.

We are called to be the body of Christ, so it is time we step out and start acting like it, through service, in love, For Christ. We can stay warm when the winter comes folks.
