Many of us Grew up in odd families with unfavorable environments, and consequently, we don't understand the basics of friendship and hospitality. Many people today, even Christians, try to deny the importance of these virtues, sinking deeper into their selfishness, only to complain of greater loneliness. The heart of Christian reality is a society--a Trinity--of persons living with and for one another. God created us to live in bonds of society and friendship, not as lone rangers. The Christian faith presents friendship and hospitality not as luxuries but necessities. God does not save us in isolation but in community with other people. There is no possibility of living to the glory of God apart from godly companions. In this book, Steve Wilkins seeks to call us back to the joyous obligations of friendship and hospitality. He spells out the biblical virtues that nurture both, as well as the stumbling blocks that could hinder us. Book jacket. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
