This difficulty knows no bounds. The challenge is at church, at school, and in the community. There is a major disconnect that we must be aware of in order to build lasting and impacting relationships with one another to grow together in Jesus. Community is an important element of our walks with God in that we cannot grow fully in Him the way he intended without deep and meaningful relationships with one another. Community matters, because discipleship is communal in its nature. It takes all of us working together to make disciples in our churches, in our communities, and in our world. This is a subject that has been on my mid a lot lately, Discipleship is Communal: http://robbiepruitt.blogspot.com/2009/12/discipleship-is-communal.html Great post Tom!
