Relational living in an isolated world
Is it even possible to live in relationship with more than just your core family these days? Even as someone who desires to live in community, I still struggle sometimes to make sure I create opportunities to experience community. I agree with M. Scott Boren who wrote in his book that the culture really tends toward isolation. That means that we have to try twice as hard to make sure we follow God's way of living in love and community, and we actually have to teach people how to do this. We can't expect them to live this way organically. Even if we are all meant for community, that doesn't mean we will easily tend toward that.
