A few months ago a group of us met to go to a concert together. Several of us were going to different places after the concert and one girl was going to drive herself as to not be a burden.
Here's our conversation:
"Come ride with us. I can take bring you back home."
"I'll just drive. I don't want you to go out of your way."
"It's no problem."
"I'll just drive."
"You are a part of our community. Let me drive you."
"Okay, I receive that."
It was such a little and simple thing but what a great picture of how hard it is for us to live in community here. (And by "here" I mean the U.S.) Go ahead, try it out. Let me know how it goes.
Acts 2:42ff
" 42They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
