‘The tie that binds’
The “wholeness” that God brings about in community has much to say and teach us about things such as pain, death, sickness, poverty, injustice, etc.
BGR Executive Director Jeff Palmer’s most recent blog post at Kingdom Communities draws some excellent insights out of the six biblical models of community he has been discussing.
Profound implications
Jeff Palmer is posting some intriguing thoughts on the topic of “Six models of Kingdom community in the Bible” at http://kingdomcommunities.blogspot.com. He is working his way up the list toward #1 and has three installments posted: #6 – the New Heaven and New Earth; #5 – the Body of Christ; #4 – the Community of Israel. They have profound implications for how we do both church and missions.
