Choose Community

One of the active functions of God's kingdom is that it draws people together. People are naturally called together to worship, serve, teach and guide one another. As we allow the Kingdom of God to take hold of our thinking, it leads us to understand the beauty of community that God births in our midst. But we must choose to actively participate in it. Those who grow the most are often the ones that serve the most. God doesn't force community on us, but he draws us and calls us to belong, knowing that it is often the hardest place, but the most rewarding, developing and ultimately fulfilling place to be. Hebrews 10:25, NIV: "not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
