Day 29: Building Community

Notice that today the verb to which he switches is "building," and in this devotion the Spirit is building community. I chuckled at his story about writing a paper at seminary and W. D. Davies response. He does accurately capture the truth in community building and maintaining when we writes at the beginning of the second paragraph, " When it comes to building community, it's easy to fall off the ass."

He states the core of this devotion in the last paragraph at the bottom of page 108: "We gain two essential insights into inspired community from this story. First, healthy community demands communal leadership. Community isn't the work of one man, one woman. The weight is just too heavy for his or her shoulders. And second, Community demands constant tending, sometimes eve a redo."
