the kingdom in community

Jonathan Campbell on community,

In our current cultural crisis, the most powerful demonstration of the reality of the gospel is a community embodying the way, the truth, and the life of Jesus. Healthy community is the life of Jesus in us and through us. For community to last, our love for one another must be surpassed only by our love for Jesus. If the relationships are grounded on anything other than Jesus, the community will fall - and the sooner the better!
The Church is a people not a place. It is 24X7. The Kingdom of God is found within her and flows from her. Service and global stewardship stem from that. All individuals participate in the missional life.

I love it.
