We either share this Life of following Jesus, passionately and powerfully, or we isolate ourselves and get quickly taken out. That's right, I said 'taken out' ...like yesterday's garbage. Like the master swordsman said in the movie Zorro, "You would have foughty bravely and died quickly." Exactly.

We were meant to live and breathe, to love and serve, in Community. The earliest Ekklesia in Acts is nothing if not a Community, a Brotherhood sharing the physical, financial, spiritual and emotional struggles, battles, and victories of one another.

To neglect this, to deny this, or to run from this is unhealthy and, being in direct conflict with Scripture, often unholy. It's time we made up our minds: are we going to keep playing games with the Son of God or live and love as He commanded us to {Jn. 13:34-35}?
