Does true Christian Community exist? Is it even possible in this day and age? Is it possible in an age when few seem to value honesty or love or correction or sincerity? We love farce and entertainment and show, but we run from instruction,correction or discipline.
Is true Christian Community possible in an age when mothers refuse to tell their daughters, "No!" and fathers are more afraid of thier wive's disdain than their son's destruction and thus also refuse to say the wonderful word, "No" to thier off-spring?
Does anyone one love enough to give corection? Does anyone love enough to receive it? Without honest love we make Hell a closer reality for one another than Christian Community.
We ignore "Faithful are the wounds of a friend" and we surround ourselves with others who enable us in our disfunction, we embrace those who smile to our face and lie behind our backs., We fire pastors we disagree with, with no regard for their welfare or the future of their families. Years of service is forgotten or ignored while we gather to ourselves lying teachers so please our itching ears.
Is Christian Community even a possibility anymore? I sometimes wonder; God wants it, His Son died for it and the Holy Spirit desires to epose it, but He isn't going to force it upon us and I don't see many who desire it.
