The world has this idea that we need people who are the same as us for community. It is problematic because it doesn’t make us more connected. It makes us more isolated. We want community on demand.
Real community is different-- It’s diverse, unique, different, difficult, uncomfortable, and it requires sacrifice and obedience. In a world longing for community, Jesus gives us the key. Those that humble themselves before the Lord and passionately practice His love will build a strong community.
