there's no such thing as Christian individualism. The church is meant to be a God-formed community of people who have abandoned the notion that life can and should be lived in isolation. Christians are connected people—connected with each other by God the Father, through God the Son, in God the Spirit.
Tullian Tchividjian
This paragraph is so impacting:
Jesus, the kingdom developer, has begun building new housing on a tract of earth's land, purchased with his blood. He has erected a model home as an exhibition of what will eventually fill the whole world. God intends the church to be that model home. We're his demonstration community. We're to put the rule of Christ on display, showing the unbelieving world what human life and community can look like with God at the center.
Christians and the church are God's living and local presence on earth.
We are meant reflect what God's intention for life and community could look like.
