Last night we examined Psalm 133 as a community (Sweet, Like Mountain Dew). As we discussed last evening, the sweetness and beauty of Community is seen best, often, against the backdrop of contention and turmoil. What make community so heavenly is the journey of friendship where people love each despite conflict, where forgiveness flows, hospitality permeates the welcoming spirit.
but, the question that we started to pose last night as we concluded was:
"What Boundaries do we need to have?" and how do we practically function with these boundaries?
Does Doctrine become a boundary? if so-to what degree? what other things become boundaries for us as a community, in order to protect the community?
thoughts? Questions? comments?
