The Kingdom is all about the community from on high - a community that builds with the open hearted practice of vulnerability. Vulnerability gets a bad rap but its such an important thing for New Testament life to be full and to be vibrant. The opposite of living with an open heart is to live with a closed one, and the result of doing this will, without doubt, be shame and secrecy - which leads to judgement and fear! Because we are called to build a confessional culture (James 5:18), we have to make sure we are learning the practice of truth and love together. It’s not easy and we will fail as we learn but we are called to speak the truth with the powerful ingredient of enduring love. We can not close over and let our hearts be shut down or we will suffer as a result. It’s time to get back out there with courage and build relationships and communities of the heart! The kind of one you would want to visit and maybe even join! New Creation Communities!
