Parable of the Sower - Community

Community - Parable of the Sower "In Christ, we who are many form one body and each member belongs to all the others" (Romans 12.5). The bible directly describes and defines community; it is human's innate need to bond together, providing the basis of a community. In a religious sense, a community can be described as the interaction between a group of individuals. All communities need distinguishing factors that not only unite the members in thought …

…the people who surround them. “People are expected to fear and hate everyone but their own kind” (p 31). However, a community “It isn’t enough for [the group] to just survive, limping along, playing business as usual while things get worse and worse. If that’s the shape [they] give to God, then someday [they] must become too weak --- too poor, too hungry, too sick to defend [themselves]. Then we’ll be wiped out” (67).
