Here’s another controversial statement that we’ll throw at you during this series:
1) “Let him who cannot be alone beware of community”
2) “Let him who is not in community beware of being alone.”
The first statement recognizes that God calls us as individuals, and it is us alone who must respond to the call of Jesus, and it is us alone who will give account to God when we die. The second statement recognizes that while we were called alone, we weren’t called to be alone. We were called into community so that in life, we would not be alone. So, a healthy community has people who can be alone and people who can be together.
