In The Mix

Community as defined in the Webster’s dictionary means:

1. A group of people who live in the same area.
2. A group of people who have the same interest.
3. A feeling of wanting to be with other people, or of caring about the other people in a group.

When thinking about the definition of community it seems to go hand in hand with small groups. Each of the above defining points even has the word “group” in it. I am so passionate about group life that when someone gives me excuses for why they can’t be in groups I often want to tell them that those are the exact same reasons you SHOULD be in a group. Not only does a group help you connect with other Christians, and keep you accountable, it also gives you a group of people who can be there for you and help you out through the adventures we call life.
