Barriers and Bridges to True Community
Expectations, Self-Protection, and Masks are barriers that become silent killers to true community.
“A spiritual community, a church, is full of broken people who turn their chairs toward each other because they know they cannot make it alone. These broken people journey together with their wounds and worries and washouts visible, but are able to see beyond the brokenness to something alive and good, something whole.” Larry Crabb
We all fall short of the glory of God. But, may we spur one another toward love and compassion. May we encourage one another by engaging in the Stepping Stones to True Community: Forgiveness, Gratitude, and the willingness to choose others in love, maturity, and sacrifice.
Philippians 2:3-4 - Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourself, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interest of others
