Sometimes it just feels easier to retract. It's easier to stay at home, keep to ourselves, and not press into community. This is not the abundant life that God has for us in Christ. He calls us into community; to bear each other's burdens. He calls us to love well and support each other. He calls us to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. We can do none of this unless we move away from a casual approach to community and begin to live Christian community with fervor and Jesus at the center.
